Bio
I am a 6th-year medical student from Cape Town with a keen interest in assisting students to excel in their studies. I am a gentle and enthusiastic individual with a nurturing outlook on teaching.
I have tutored a few students throughout high school and my early years at university. Through those experiences, I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to expose students to a broader knowledge base and an improved sense of achievement. Being involved in patient care through my medical studies, I have learnt the value of compassion in human interaction and applied this to my tutoring style.

Subjects
- School Tutoring
Life Sciences (Biology)
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI enjoy learning about and understanding the intricacies of how the body works. For this reason, I chose to study Medicine and am now a 5th year medical student. This has solidified my understanding of basic human biology, which I have used to tutor my brother in Life Sciences from Grade 10 to 12.
Afrikaans
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC (First Additional Language)While it's not my home language, Afrikaans First Additional Language (FAL) is a subject I thoroughly enjoyed throughout school. My family has a largely Afrikaans background, giving me a firm grasp on the language and its applications. While in Grade 12, I eagerly tutored younger students in FAL.
Life Orientation
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI feel that Life Orientation is a subject that is often neglected but has great value in shaping our way of thinking. LO was one of my best performed subjects in school and I would love to extend assistance to students who require it.
English
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI am a great English tutor as I understand the language, and am passionate about the value that being proficient in English offers to any student going into a tertiary education environment, and the world of work.
Geography
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCGeography is a subject that is highly fascinating and is relatively easy to excel in if you understand the concepts. I am enthusiastic about tutoring Geography and know that I am able to help students achieve great results in the subject.
Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI am a good math tutor because I enjoy solving problems in a systematic and logical fashion. Maths requires understanding and dedication to the subject, all of which I am able to facilitate, guide, and grow.
- University Tutoring
Pharmacology
First Year 12178-471 (University of Stellenbosch)My passion for pharmacology extends to the point where I am almost certain it will be the field I will one day specialize in. I am an enthusiastic pharmacology tutor and I know I can be an asset to students in need.
