Bio
I am currently a fifth-year Medical student at Stellenbosch University with an inherent urge to help others! I am a positive person who loves to share knowledge and better myself wherever I can.
I find extreme pleasure in seeing others excel and reach their goals (no matter how big or small)! I am able to tutor at various different levels depending on the proficiency of the tutee - I believe that it only frustrates the student if the material is presented at a level that doesn't suit them. Lastly, I am a very patient tutor; this creates a safe space for my tutees to learn!
