Bio
I am a PhD holder in Mathematics and Statistics from Cape Town. I also have more than 8 years of experience lecturing and tutoring at university level. I enjoy playing chess in my spare time.
I am able to explain Mathematical and Statistical concepts in familiar and simple terms. I am also good at listening to the concerns of the student such that I can assist in the best possible way. I practice great empathy when dealing with students.

Subjects
- University Tutoring
Statistics
First Year - PostgradI have been exposed to a lot of Statistics during my tertiary studies. I took Stats courses in my first/second/third and fourth year and thoroughly enjoyed them. I feel confident and excited to teach Statistics to others!
SPSS
First Year - Fourth YearI have a good understanding of SPSS and am excellent at problem-solving. I would love to assist other learners to gain more insight into the subject matter and build on their confidence in approaching the subject!
Reviews from others
“Professor Mbakisi is a great and friendly teacher with great knowledge on mathematical finance on university or postgraduate level teaching. Professor Mbakisi helped a lot on my questions on the courses and provided me clear guidelines. I highly recommend Mbakisi’s lessons for mathematical finance.”- Rosa
“Mbakisi finds a good balance between theory and application. He is always prepared with some additional reading which I can use as reference, but also narrows down the required methods needed to solve the specific problems of the day. I am gaining more confidence in my own abilities after each lesson and dont see statistics as an impossibility anymore.”- Raymond
