Bio
I have a passion for learning that I want to share, I understand how a teacher can change your whole perspective on your work and schooling. I'm a second year student studying a Bsc at Wits.
I enjoyed my experience at high school and I know that it is very difficult for many people. I want to help others have a similar experience to me in any way that I can, and helping them with their work and pull their marks up is the best way to do this. I understand how much more you can enjoy a subject when you understand and appreciate the work that you're doing.

Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI achieved distinctions in all my subjects in Grade 12, obtaining 96% for Mathematics. I have a passion for maths that stems from my teachers in high school. They taught me how to enjoy maths, something that can only be achieved once you can truly understand and appreciate the beauty of your work.
Advanced Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEBI took AP maths as an extra subject in high school, something I struggled with until I got a new teacher in grade 11. I understand the value of having a proficient teacher in such a difficult subject, mine brought me from 50% to 91% by the end of school, something I would like to do for others.
Life Sciences (Biology)
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI am in second year studying a Bsc in Biological sciences. Biology has been my passion and direction since grade 10 when my teacher taught me to appreciate the wonders of life, which I would like to share with prospective students.
Geography
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCGeography is a subject that is highly possible to do well in as most of the work is based on standard principles to which simple logic must be applied. If you work the right way with geography, it becomes a subject you need not worry about.
English
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCEnglish is a difficult subject to do well in as it requires a broad understanding of the subject and not just learning facts and reciting them. I aim to increase the understanding of the language so that my student will do better in tests and exams
