Bio

I am an energetic and enthusiastic Masters student with 6+ years of tuition experience. I believe everyone is capable of achieving their academic goals under the right guidance!

I have tutored many students over the years and have seen how my techniques can help academic and personal growth. I focus on helping you understand the work but believe that working on your self-confidence is equally important. I tutor because I want to help you reach your full potential. I am happy to re-explain something as many times as needed until you are confident in your understanding.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I was the head of Maths tuition in high school because of my passion and skills. I now have 6+ years of tuition experience. I improved my marks from 50 to 90% through self-taught techniques and changed my perspective.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I graduated Summa Cum Laude (BSc in Genetics and Cell Biology) and BSc Human Genetics Honours in First Class. I am very passionate about Life Sciences and would like to share my learning techniques. I matriculated with 88% in the subject.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC (Home Language)

I love poetry and literature analysis. I am an experienced and creative tutor hence I believe I could be of great assistance to learners requiring assistance in this subject.

Life Orientation

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

Life Orientation is a vital subject that can really help to prepare you for your career, personal experiences and future academic goals. I want to help equip you to be able to grasp concepts not only to excel in the subject but to excel in tackling these real-life problems as well.

Geography

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I absolutely love Geography and still use what I learned in high school today. I taught myself ways of learning the material to achieve a 90% aggregate in Matric and would like to impart this knowledge to you. I am a strong advocate for the subject and believe this will also improve your experience.

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

Physical Science is like Maths - without good foundational understanding and someone ensuring you understand the building blocks, it can be a difficult subject. However, I will help you to problem solve and grasp the concepts in your course work better and you may even start to love the subject!

Natural Science

Grade 1 - Grade 9 NSC

Grade 8 and 9 set up my love for Science and has been the field of choice for my studies and career. I am a great tutor (and advocate) for the subject and I will help you to better understand the work and develop your interest in the subject.

  • Language Tutoring

English

Beginner NSC (Home Language)

I am a very patient and experienced tutor hence I believe I could be of great assistance to a beginner English speaker. I have a lot of friends who are not English first language speakers and know it can be stressful. Hence I will be able to assist from this angle of understanding as well.

  • University Tutoring

Microbiology

First Year - Second Year MICR213W1

I am currently pursuing a Masters in Immunology and Biotechnology. My work heavily involves a fundamental understanding of Microbiology and the way it works. My years of experience will aid me in bringing out a better understanding of the module and will show you how incredible the subject is.

Genetics

First Year - Postgrad PTY4003W, PTY4004W

I am extremely passionate about Genetics and believe a thorough understanding of the field will be beneficial for generations to come. I completed my Honours degree in Human Genetics in the first class and finished in the top 5 of my class.

Biology

First Year - Third Year BIOL345W1, BIOL347W1, BIOL316W2, BIOL350W2

I majored in Cell Biology and Genetics and finished both majors at the top of my class Summa Cum Laude. I have a genuine passion for the module and believe this will come through while I assist you in gaining a better understanding and interest in the module.
