Bio
I am passionate and talkative. I enjoy helping and encouraging people and coming up with new ways of explaining concepts to help people to understand them.
I am willing to take the time to listen to other people and approach solving an issue from their perspective. I find it easy to engage in conversation with a wide range of different people. I am passionate about the things that interest me

Subjects
Life Sciences (Biology)
Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEBI completed a BSc in Conservation Ecology from Stellenbosch University, and I have two years of post-university work experience in the conservation field. Therefore I will be able to explain to a pupil how the concepts that they are learning can be applied outside of school.
Geography
Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEBMy highest mark across all of my high school subjects was in Geography. Geography subjects including climate change, rock types and urban geography were also subjects that I studied at University, and found very interesting
Natural Science
Grade 1 - Grade 9 IEBI was greatly interested to learn about the structure of chemicals and their interactions. Physics concepts have also remained relevant to me for years after completing school.
Social Science
Grade 1 - Grade 9 IEBI was fascinated by the interplay between the social context of people and their physical environment. How environmental factors can influence the socio-economic status of a neighbourhood.
English
Grade 1 - Grade 5 IEBI have been an avid book reader from a young age, and believe that I have experience in reading comprehension that would benefit a student
Afrikaans
Grade 1 - Grade 5 IEBI have been speaking Afrikaans as an additional language for many years, and believe that I will be able to assist a student in forming these foundation concepts that will assist them in learning Afrikaans further in later years

“He was invested in Sirhaan's progress and ability to understand the sections he was struggling with. Sirhaan was eager to engage with him in the lessons and has been more motivated to study the sections on his own. Thank you! Great job ”- Shameela
