Bio
I am an enthusiastic KZN farm girl with a passion for science and teaching. I'm completing my Masters in Genetics at UP while working full time in marketing and customer relations in Johannesburg.
Having tutored university students as part of my Honours course, I have learnt that each person has a different way of learning and understanding the work at hand, and so it is important to approach every student differently. I am patient, and have no problem going the extra mile to help someone understand a concept.
