Bio

I am a hard-working academic who loves learning. I also enjoy traveling and playing musical instruments.

I have an in-depth understanding of concepts, so I like to explain concepts in a very fundamental manner and work from there. With TeachMe2, I have helped many pupils to improve their learning techniques and understanding of content.

Education

• Matriculated from Hilton College with 9 distinctions (2017)
• Over 100 hours tutoring experience privately and with TeachMe2, especially Grade 10 - 12 pupils
• Currently 2nd year BA (LLB) at UCT.

My Proudest
Achievements

• I was Dux Proxima and Scholar of the Year (best IEB results) at school and my Matric French results placed me in the top 1% for French nationally. I am on the Dean's Merit List at UCT and a member of the Golden KEy International Honour Society.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

Mathematics is one of my favourite subjects and I have received numerous awards for mathematics throughout my schooling career. I achieved over 90% in Grade 12 and I was the top maths scholar.

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 9 IEB

I achieved a distinction for physical science in Matric and in Grade 10 I was awarded the Sir Henry Strakosh scholarship and UKZN trophy for Excellence in Mathematics and Physical Sciences.

Music Theory

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I have studied music theory for nearly ten years while learning multiple musical instruments and I achieved a distinction for music in Grade 12. I also won the music prize at school.

French

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I spent two months on an exchange programme to France which boosted my proficiency in French. I have DELF Level B2 certification in French and I have completed my 3rd year of French at UCT. I have been tutoring French for 3 years and it is my favourite subject to teach!

Advanced Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I took Advanced Mathematics as an extra subject at school and preferred it to core Mathematics. I did graph theory and matrices as the optional module.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

As a native English speaker, I excelled in English at school, especially with essay writing, grammar and literature. I have studied Shakespeare and a number of classic novels, as well as some African writers.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 9 IEB

I enjoy learning languages and I have excelled in all three that I have studied. I enjoyed Afrikaans much more than most of my peers at school did and I wish I had more opportunities to speak the language.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 10 IEB

I really enjoy history and I am particularly good at essay writing. I did my One Research Task Project on African history in Grade 12 and I achieved over 90% for my project.

Chemistry

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

Chemistry is my favourite topic in science and I have always excelled in the subject.

Mathematics IEB experience

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I achieved a high distinction for mathematics at school and I wrote the IEB examinations. My teacher from Grade 10 - 12 was the IEB Maths Paper 1 examiner so I learnt a lot about IEB Mathematics from him.

  • Music Tutoring

Music Theory

Beginner (Grades 1 - 3) - Intermediate (Grades 4 - 6) IEB

I have studied music theory for nearly ten years while learning multiple musical instruments and I achieved a distinction for music in Grade 12. I also won the music prize at school.

Alto Saxophone

Beginner (Grades 1 - 3) - Advanced (Grades 7 - 8) Trinity College London

I have many years of experience performing in bands and orchestras and I have passed Grade 8 in both classical and jazz saxophone. I love the instrument and would love to share my enthusiasm with others.

Piano (Classical)

Beginner (Grades 1 - 3) Trinity College London

I have been playing the piano for about 7 years now and I really enjoy the instrument. I studied music at school so I have a lot of background knowledge regarding theory and history which I believe is important for a holistic musical education.

Aural Training

Beginner (Grades 1 - 3) - Intermediate (Grades 4 - 6) Trinity College London

Aural training has always been a part of my musical education, from learning three different instruments to studying music as a subject at school, so I have developed a very keen ear. I have learnt advanced aural techniques for honing aural skills.

Improvisation

Beginner (Grades 1 - 3) - Intermediate (Grades 4 - 6)

I achieved a distinction for Grade 8 Jazz Saxophone and improvisation was a large part of that exam. I have done a lot of improvising in jazz bands at school and at the National Art Festival. I have also studied the theory behind improvisation.

Piano (Contemporary)

Beginner (Grades 1 - 3)

I have been playing the piano for about 7 years now and I really enjoy the instrument. I studied music at school so I have a lot of background knowledge regarding theory and history which I believe is important for a holistic musical education.

  • Language Tutoring

French

Beginner - Intermediate

I have DELF B2 certification in French, as well as having finished 3rd year French at UCT. I have been tutoring French for 3 years and I am studying two languages at university, so I am very in tune with how language is taught and learnt.

  • University Tutoring

French

First Year - Second Year

I have finished 3rd year Business French at UCT (1st class pass) and I have DELF B2 certification. I am still studying languages at university so I am very familiar with how language is taught and learnt, which has influenced my tutoring style.

Reviews from others

“Happy to say that there has been an improvement in Mathew's results, and I think his attitude towards maths and science has also improved, which is great! Mathew enjoys having Mitchell as his tutor and I am of the opinion that Mitchells' tutoring style suits him. I will be scheduling more lessons in the new term and would very much like to maintain Mitchell as a tutor if he is available.”

“He is very helpful and engaging with so much insight and reliable knowledge. He is very understanding of flexible time and although I'm still so new to the languag he is perfect in teaching me in a respectful and kind manner. He also offers me many methods of learning and good ways to incorporate the language into my life which is a primary factor in learning a language.”
