Bio

I am a Biochemistry and Microbiology major and I have an absolute passion for Mathematics, languages, and Science! My hobbies include cooking, making clay earrings and travelling.

I love moulding the minds of our youth. I have 8 years' science, languages, and mathematics tutoring experience at Master Maths and privately - including the IEB, CAPS and Cambridge syllabus. I have gained so much experience, patience and teaching methods that aid in me being the best tutor I can be. I also spent a lot of time preparing rewrites for their supplementary exams.

My Proudest
Achievements

• My degree is my proudest achievement, and I hope to work my way to a Biochemistry PhD one day. Teach Me 2 helps me further that goal by supporting my own studies.
• I work in a toxicology laboratory during the day and at night, I love tutoring.

“Nicolene is so kind and understanding. She doesn’t get angry when I ask her to repeat something if I don’t understand it the first time around. When it comes to corrections, she allows me to go over the question again before giving me the answer. I truly appreciate that about her. I can honestly say that I’ve learned more Nicolene than I have in school. ”
