Bio
I'm an aeronautical engineering PhD student that does a bunch of maths and physics. I balance the nerdiness out (or don't) with a passion for music and PC games.
I've had to teach myself a lot of the material I've had to learn thus far (rather than relying on lecturers). I learned to understand difficult material in terms of simple, physical ideas. I often helped my friends understand topics at university once I figured them out, and ended up tutoring a number of different engineering courses while I was at Wits. I've also tutored high-school maths before.

Subjects
- University Tutoring
Mathematics
First Year MATH1014 (Wits University, Engineering Maths)I use the basics of Engineering Mathematics on an almost daily basis. Having completed my MSc(Eng) in Aeronautical Engineering, I have a good knowledge of practical applications of the subject to interest the learner with.
Mechanics
First Year - Second Year PHYS1015, MECN2001, MECN2007, (Wits University, Mechanics and Applied Mechanics)Applied Mechanics, much like Engineering Mathematics, is a discipline I am involved with almost every day. Most people are familiar with Mechanics in every day objects -- they just don't know it yet!
Fluid Mechanics
First Year - Fourth Year MECN2000, MECN3002 (Wits University, Fluid Mechanics I and II)With an MSc(Eng) and PhD (on the way) in Aerodynamics (which is just Applied Fluid Mechanics), this is not only a subject I am familiar with. It is a subject I am passionate about.
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 Cambridge AS/A2Studying engineering certainly helped improve my skills in Mathematics since I wrote my exams for A-Level Maths!
Advanced Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 Cambridge AS/A2Studying engineering certainly helped improve my skills in Mathematics since I wrote my exams for A-Level Maths!
Physics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 Cambridge AS/A2Fun fact -- I got the highest mark for Physics in South Africa in the November 2007 Cambridge A-Levels exams! I've also done a lot of Applied Physics in my undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
