Bio

I love meeting new people and sharing my love of Maths and Biology with them. I believe that a good teacher makes all the difference, and always try to make learning as engaging for you as possible.

I have always loved working with people, and am never happier than when I get to use my experience or knowledge to guide and help those around me. I am extremely empathetic, and believe that it is vitally important to understand other people and what they need in order to support and aid them in meaningful and impactful ways.

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB, Cambridge

I have over four years experience tutoring Mathematics at a high school level, during which time I have tutored a number of students from both the Cambridge and IEB syllabus.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I was employed as a tutor for Zoology and Botany at Rhodes University, where I was able to help over 50 students in the course of three years. Additionally, I have been privately tutoring biology at a high school level since 2016.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

English has always been one of my favourite subjects, and I love teaching literature and creative writing. I have participated in several Olympiads, which have taught me to analyse literature and poetry particularly well.

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

Physics and Chemistry can often feel extremely overwhelming for students, as they are often so complex and difficult to study. I pride myself on my ability to break these complex ideas down and make it accessible and fun for students.
