Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I have always loved math and it comes very naturally to me. I enjoy helping others understand and feel comfortable with the material at hand.

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I loved physics in high school and I am currently studying physics at an undergraduate level at the University of Cape Town

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I'll help you to interpret poems like a boss, use more idioms than your ouma and shake your teachers with your vocabulary!

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I want to help students who aren’t comfortable with English to no longer be intimidated by it, but rather help them feel confident and ready to approach the subject!

  • University Tutoring

Mathematics

First Year MAM1000W, MAM1044H, MAM1043H - UCT

I have found that being relaxed and approaching mathematics in a calm, focused manner leads to the best results. I can help you work through problem sets and give you extra problems to work through.

Physics

First Year PHY1004W - UCT

Physics at a first year level can be challenging. But I figured it out and managed to get a distinction! I'd love to help students achieve the same!
