Bio
I am friendly, patient, and empathetic which allows me to create a safe space for people to feel confident. I am also an aspiring psychologist and lawyer so I deeply value connecting with people.
I am a critical thinker and good at writing and communicating which makes me a good tutor. My experience as a tutee has furnished me with study advice and skills that I have utilised to become an A student. Importantly, I am empathetic which allows me to gauge needs that are unique to the student and determine when they can be pushed a bit further or when they need a break.
Education
• I matriculated in 2020 with 7 distinctions from Reddam House Bedfordview.
• I am a 3rd year Law and Psychology student at the University of the Witwatersrand.
My Proudest
Achievements
• Matriculating with all As.
• Getting into Law school.
• I have recently become confident and comfortable with my achievements and have begun to recognise them as the result of my hard work instead of downplaying them. This is an achievement in itself.
