Bio
One of the best feelings is having that 'AHA!' moment when you finally crack the problem. And I'd like to help you because it makes me feel great when I know your 'AHA!' moment was because of me.
When faced with problems I can't solve, rather than give up, I get curious. This is because I believe there is no information or solution you cannot find if you're willing to dig for it (research) or just by asking someone. I'm not a know-it-all, but I am certainly curious enough to help someone solve their problems whether it's about maths or any other subject.

Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
I've taken 1st and 2nd-year pure maths courses at UCT during my undergraduate degree. I have previous experience tutoring students in an online format.
Music Theory
I took subject music in high school. Additionally, I have completed up to grade 6 theory of music in ABRSM and UNISA. I also hold certificates for practical in grade 8 piano UNISA and practical in grade 6 piano in ABRSM.
Life Sciences (Biology)
One of my favourite subjects in high school, mostly because of an excellent teacher. Unlike other subjects, biology didn't come naturally, so I worked really hard to get the mark I did. And to this day I can still name the bones in a body.
Physics
I obtained a distinction in my matric year and have a great love for this subject. With my experience I am able to effectively teach the core topics.
- University Tutoring
Statistics
I did quite well in my first statistics course (Ref STA1006S). I'm more confident in tutoring at the first-year level because I have a much deeper understanding of statistics up to a third-year level
Computer science
I am open to tutoring core UCT computer science courses (CSC1015, CSC1016, CSC2001, CSC2002). I have extensive programming knowledge in both python and java. I was also a computer science tutor for 2nd year UCT computer science courses (CSC2001 & CSC2002) in 2020.
