| THE SUCCESS STORY OF A GUY WHO DREAMED OF BECOMING A CA SINCE HE CAN REMEMBER.
Aidan matriculated at King Edward V11 in 2008 and achieved 4 distinctions. He achieved extraordinary successes academically as well as on the sports field and has also been elected as Head of Day boys.
Amongst the successes he captained several provincial tournaments in hocky and achieved 2 silver and 2 gold medals. He also represented South Africa in U16, U18 and U21 level. He loves his hockey and seemed to strike a healthy balance between his sport and B Com Accounting CA.
He completed his 1st year at KwaZulu Natal University on the Westville Campus in Durban.
After receiving a Dean's Commendation and an Invitation from Golden Key International Honour Society, he decided that Jhb was a better call for him from a studing perspective, and he came back to complete his degree at UJ.
His 1st word of advice to young people out there - NEVER CHANGE UNIVERSITIES!
He ended up with UJ hockey as well as 9 modules in a semester!
SO HOW DID HE MANAGE?
As Aidan explains it, you will soon realise that Accounting is the toughest subject you will come across at University. It has by far the largest volume of work and it is crucial to be apply to apply what you have learnt.
This application was the biggest change from 1st year and continues into 3rd year.
SO WITH LIMITED TIME HOW DO YOU DO THIS?
For me the answer was Annelize. I tried a few extra lessons with various people before being lucky enough to find Annelize. To me she is worlds apart from any other tutors I have come across.
Although she doesn't know the standards off the back of her hand, which is pointless as they are forever changing, she has an unbelievable ability to read something, understand it and then apply it. Better still, she has a remarkable skill of teaching you to do the same.
She has her methods and you have yours, but she always finds a way to bring the two together, which is indispensable.
FROM:
1. Simplified summarised notes of
the IFRS's to
2. One on one discussions to bounce off
ideas to
3. Endless examples you've never dreamed
of and best of all
4. Someone that cares as much as your
family!
5. Annelize has it all!
So stop battling and wasting endless hours by yourself because its "not cool".
Annelize will show you how to pass, how to do well and best of all, make your life so much easier!

Details:Hi Annelize
When I first started with you I was failing accounting 200 and getting even a 50% seemed unattainable, making it into accounting 300 seemed impossible. Today, my results for the first test after going to you was 83%!!! WOW!! I'm still so thrilled!
I've learned study techniques and learning methods that have indeed paved the way to me becoming a more diligent student.
Annelize you have taught me how to tackle exam questions effectively and the fact that you have always been a phone call away for assistance was always reassuring.
You are extremely dedicated and hard working and I'm a prime example of how your hard work pays off. You have always been willing to go the extra mile and will do everything you possibly can to assist your students and for this I am eternally grateful.
Annelize, thank you very much for helping me achieve what I have!

| Grade 11 pupil at Crawford College in Lonehill, 2009.
During 2008 when I was in Grade 10 I started having difficulty with Accounting, not understanding the concepts nor interpreting the questions properly. I went to Annelize and with her loving, friendly and compassionate manner she made me feel comfortable and welcome. I overcame my fears and started to enjoy Accounting.
I can highly recommended Annelize if you are struggling with Accounting or simply just want to improve your marks.

"Before I started extra lessons with Annelize I was drowning in a sea of accounting and financial concepts. I felt frustrated that I was working harder and harder and my results improved only negligibly. My hard work granted me a thorough understanding of the material but I still couldn't translate this understanding into results in the exam hall. After a few lessons from Annelize I learned how to study in a more effective manner and also refined my exam technique which helped convert my understanding into better marks. I improved my work-to-performance ratio by putting in less work and realizing measuredly improved results. My familiarity with the concepts and exam questions increased and so did my confidence. If there's one thing you need to succeed its decisiveness and confidence in the exam hall. These are but a few tools Annelize provided me with, that got me through first year financial accounting."

I have had extra lessons with Annelize for the past 3 years, and truth be told without her and her wonderful faith in all of us I would never have passed; and not only did I pass, I often excelled in my tests - and that was only because of Annelize. I could never have done it on my own, and when I go through and do my honors, I know that I will once again be back with Annelize. She is my Hero.
I was often training for big events in cycling and hardly had time to go to lectures, but with help of Annelize teaching me, I went from strength to strength. Thank you Annelize, you saved my life.

Liewe Annelize
My gesin en veral Emil wil jou graag bedank vir jou uitstekende hulpklasse gedurende sy matriek jaar. Jou ondersteuning op emosionele en akademiese vlak het daartoe bygedra dat sy punte met 20% verbeter het gedurende sy finale eksamen.
Ek beveel jou graag aan vir alle leerders,
maak nie saak hoe hulle presteer nie, want jy gaan hulle nog beter laat presteer as gevolg van jou persoonlike aanmoediging en motivering. Jou leerders is nie net nog liggame in jou klas nie; jy behandel elkeen soos ‘n mens en jy voldoen en vervul elkeen se eie unieke verwagting.
Nogmaals baie dankie en sterkte vir die toekoms.

I am taking a gap year in 2009, and are engaged in many activities, just to name a few, travelling to London and Europe with jobs at an auditing firm and University press, playing rugby for a club there, doing aviation courses, game ranging, guitar, wine tasting and Accounting. Amongst many skills I have acquired, I can also now balance some books, with no previous exposure of Accounting at all.
“Thank you very much Annelize for a very enjoyable and knowledgeable 5 weeks with you, I thoroughly enjoyed it. And JP’s advice to anyone who is considering a gap year after matric:
“Such a year is of great privilege and must be lived to the full”.

Annelize's accounting lessons were an integral part in providing me with the support and ability to understand accounting and create a solid foundation for my future. It was a choice I will never regret."

My onsuksesvolle poging om Rek 1 te slaag in 2007 het my mismoedig en ongemotiveerd laat voel om met die vak voort te gaan. In 2008 het ek rek klasse by Annelize geneem, sukses behaal, en ek ‘stoomroller’ nog steeds voort. Ek kan met eerlikheid beken dat my selfvertroue met 200% verbeter het. As jy met Rekeningkunde worstel, is Annelize die oplossing waarna jy so lank gesoek het. Bonuspunte word ook toegeken vir haar tee en gemmerkoekies……..AI Education is *****gehalte!

Hi Aunty A,
I was at work today talking to one of my colleagues (Simon King – ex student from UCT) and for some reason we got on the topic of talking about accounts and I was telling him about this awesome extra accounts teacher I had at ‘uni’ and how she got me through accounts and he started telling me the same story how his superb teacher got him through accounts and after a few minutes we realized that we had the same teacher .. YOU!!!
He actually landed up working in the financial department at our work for 4 months. We are now working together in the same department.
Anyway, hope all is well with you.
Keep it ridiculous!!!!
All the best,
Paul Fingleson

Melissa is studying Human Resources Management and is therefore not very ‘Accounts orientated’:
“Yeah, yeah, yeah! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You won’t believe how I feel, Annelize! I passed Accounting! Can you believe it?? Never will I be able to thank you enough! I really don’t know what I would have done all this time without you and the guidance and help you have given me…

A relieved sigh and SMS from a student who spent most of his December 2008 holiday at
AI Education, trying to get back into the CA route for Accounts 3. An SMS came through
shortly after he received his results….”60% on the dot! Can you believe it?” Yes I can,
Patrick, we both worked hard for this result!

| I started extra lessons with Annelize in Grade 10 after struggling to understand key principles in class. I was not achieving the marks that I wanted and with Annelize’s help I managed to obtain an A average in the same year. Annelize is a big believer that you can’t achieve success in Accounting without practising, practising, practising! This belief in hard work further helped me achieve an A average for Grade 11 and finally for Matric. I have just completed a B.Com (Law) at the University of Johannesburg and obtained a distinction in both Accounting 2 and Accounting 3. I could not have done this without Annelize’s help. She has a wealth of knowledge and resources going back many years. I can truly say she cares about her students and will go out of her way to help. Annelize and I have walked a long road and I am very grateful to her for all her help over the last 6 years.

| Former pupil from St Stithians, now studying at UJ, doing Accounting 200.
After a year of hardship, struggle and wondering if it was ever going to happen for him, Ofhani surprised us all with an amazing 86% in his final exam, doing Accounting 1B at UJ in 2008. He was overjoyed and his dream of continuing with the CA route has come true. And this is what he says “We here at AI Education “are pushing big things”. He also recommended his good friend Chad, and together the two of them are making it happen with Accounting 200 this year. And this is what they say: “Annelize, you’re a legend…..”

What impressed me about you was that you only had him for two months. You moved him from 56 (june) to 74 (september), and now to more than 80. You are extremely good, keep up the good work.

As I am not involved in any way at all in accounting, it probably gives me a better opportunity to give that 'junior' review; This is a wonderful book with basic steps to start to get a grip of this more complex subject.

I think this is needed in our education system as accounting at junior high school is taught as part of EMS and this will go a long way in unravelling the principles of accounting and to me your book would create a base or foundation for key concepts in the subject.

Following the time I took to read the book, I can only say this is a culmination of true accounting efficacy. Being in business, this book has indeed opened up my eyes to the ways of reporting of my organization's financial information, including the preparation of financial statements to external users of such information, such as investors, regulators and suppliers. I had done a lot of theory but the book certainly has made application easy, and I love the transition from what I knew to what I know now. With accounting having several subfields or subject areas, including financial accounting, management accounting, auditing, taxation and accounting information systems, understanding all of these can be a nightmare, but the book has incredibly and variously sumplied things. Thank you Anne

A supplement to her previous book, Learn Your Accounting Basics, with clear and concise explanations of accounting principles and practice including cash journals, credit journals, general ledger, petty cash, mark-ups and gross profit percentages, and balance sheets. Not only is this book perfect for teachers and students, it is an excellent book to look into if you are a complete accounting novice. Well done, Annelize!

The color coding in the book is very helpful to provide learners with the understanding of the basic concepts of accounting. Learners will remember something more readily if they can see it. The illustrations in the book will help achieve this.

| I met Annelize in 1998 when I started referring students to her for Accounting tuition. She achieved impressive results with those students over the years.
In 2014 and 2015 she tutored my daughter in Accounting. My daughter had been struggling with Accounting concepts. Annelize’s determination and expertise resulted in my daughter achieving a distinction at the end of 2016. My daughter was delighted to be part of the nurturing environment of her home.
Post-2015, I have continued to refer students to Annelize. The feedback has been extremely positive.
