I always loved Mathematics but needed a tutor myself in high school. Hints and tips received in tutoring classes prevented the formation of innumerable mental blocks! As a result, I hope to actively engage with learners in a similar manner to pass on my knowledge, aiding them whenever possible.

Physical Science is fun provided essential concepts and definitions are understood and picturesque. During my Chemical Engineering course, Physics, Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry were covered extensively. As a tutor, I hope to make this subject enjoyable and keep the ball rolling!

Additional Mathematics became an extra credit subject I took during high school due to the decision to study towards an Engineering degree. Differentiation, integration and matrices were covered extensively - this helped immensely during my first year at Tuks.

English delves into many nooks and crannies - from comprehensive reading to poetry, from worldly events to ancient plays, English is quite diverse. High school English opened my eyes to the connection between language, circumstance and innumerable worldly occurrences.

I gained valuable quantitative and estimation skills through Mathematics Literacy alongside Pure Mathematics, enhancing my performance in Chemical Engineering modules alongside Pure Mathematics."

I specialised in Environmental Sustainability and did my research on water treatment via adsorption using agro-based waste. Biology has always been a favourite subject, especially due to microscopy and hydroponics. In my opinion, it is essential for preservation!

Physical Chemistry was an essential part of my Chemical Engineering degree. Practicals involving titrations and distillation - and the really great products they formed - highlighted the fact that I was on the right career path. As a tutor, I hope to pass on the same, if not greater, love for it.

First-year Maths courses complemented the work I had discussed in Additional Maths at school. Second-year Maths improved my depth perception and provided essential skills for graphical analysis. Furthermore, skills developed in said Maths courses provide a foundation for many basal problems.

Chemical Engineering delves into the world of microbes, processes and reactors. Designing an ethylene production plant and specialising in Chemical Engineering sustainability at the end of my course highlighted these sections as fundamental toward a "clean" future. I'm proud to help where I can.
