My Proudest
Achievements

Subjects

  • University Tutoring

Psychology

First Year - Postgrad Psychology 114, psychology 144, psychology 213, psychology 223, psychology 243, child psychology 716, brain and behaviour 711, psychotherapy 711

I achieved the highest aggregate in my Honours year at Stellenbosch University (2018). I have also done side training in Traumatic Incidence Reduction, and practical counselling.

Philosophy

First Year - Second Year philosophy 112, philosophy 122, philosophy 142, philosophy 152, philosophy 222, philosophy 242, philosophy 262

Sometimes, all that necessary to make this difference between understanding philosophy and not, is one well placed metaphor or analogy. I feel good humour is very handy to help the learning process for this subject.

  • School Tutoring

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12 CAPS

In addition to matriculating with biology, I have also done an Honours level psychology module in neuro-psychology and the nervous system, which is meaningful as these are also themes assessed in high school.

I am a home-language English speaker. I also took English studies in University, completing my undergraduate with a Major in Applied English Language Studies.
