I also worked at a school in Oxford, where I grew confident in teaching young children.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 10

Being a member of the top Maths set, a participant in the UCT Maths competitions and many olympiads throughout high school, I excelled in this subject.

Drama

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I did Drama as a subject at school, participated in school plays and directed many of our House Plays. Studying this subject really increased my confidence throughout my high school years. I achieved 5th place in the province for NSC.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Biology is a very relevant subject in my current Medical degree. It is a subject that, at school, requires a lot of time and dedication, of which I am willing to give to students. It is a subject I am greatly passionate about.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 10

I excelled at English in school. It is my home language and I was also the assistant English teacher at a school I worked at on my gap year for Grade 4 and 5 students.

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 10

Physical Science was always challenging, however it was because of my teacher that I grew to love it. I preferred Chemistry to Physics, however I excelled in both. I took science to Matric and also had to do Chemistry in first year at university.
