Bio

I believe that working smart and hard should go hand-in-hand to get outstanding results. Adding on to my patience, I am passionate about sharing knowledge using fun and engaging methods!

What makes me great at helping others is my innate ability to connect with students on a personal level and understand their unique learning needs. By taking time to listen to the individual's concerns and aspirations, I am able to go beyond being a tutor or mentor, but offer a supportive system that reaches their life goals.

I followed through with Economics from High School to University, maintaining a distinction in each year. My goal is to guide students through what is often perceived as a complex subject, breaking down and simplifying the key concepts, clarifying the student's understanding.

  • Language Tutoring

Portuguese

Beginner - Intermediate

I studied in Brazil as an exchange student. I lived there for a year with a strictly Portuguese speaking family and attended school with Portuguese as the medium language. After 4 months, I had become fluent in the language! I also informally tutored English to Portuguese-speaking individuals.

Zulu

Beginner - Advanced

I am a Zulu native speaker. I grew up with my grandmother who prides herself as a Zulu woman and has since instilled that pride in me. I enjoy sharing my language to diverse groups of people and teaching them various Zulu expressions.
