About Mrs Maths
Alayne Torres-MercadoMy Mission
Excellence in maths
I believe every learner has the ability to grasp mathematical concepts. The basic building elements of most careers. Through my consistent and targeted approach, I help guide grade 4 to grade 10 learners to achieve the best they can. I focus squarely on individual attention that helps build confidence and opens a new world of possibility through maths!

My Experience
From geology to maths
I am qualified Geologist with a B.Sc Honours in Geology. In 1995 I began my teaching career, undertaking to bring maths to life. I started at Teaching at Marang Christian College in Rustenberg before relocating to Pretoria and taking up a post at St. Paulus Primary School in 2001.
On retirement from St. Paulus in 2018 a number of parents needed extra maths lessons to prepare their children for the rigours of high school. My learners have expanded to Grade 10 level and am proud to see “my children” develop their natural mathematical ability and achieve their best.
Testimonials
What parents say
"If it were not for Mrs. Torres, my children would have been unable to cope with the pressure of high school maths, thank you Mrs. Torres for your patience and dilligence with them!"
"When my son started with Mrs. Torres, I was sure he would remain at a level that barely passes. Mrs. Torres took time and paid him special attention. I am so pleased to report, he not only passes, but now passes with distinction."
"Our daughter is a very creative child, with little interest in maths. Mrs. Torres helped build her confidence and showed her how maths and art are connected. Thank you Mrs. Torres, she's now a shining star in class, and still loves her art."
