I achieved distinctions in all my subjects in Grade 12, obtaining 96% for Mathematics. I have a passion for maths that stems from my teachers in high school. They taught me how to enjoy maths, something that can only be achieved once you can truly understand and appreciate the beauty of your work.

I took AP maths as an extra subject in high school, something I struggled with until I got a new teacher in grade 11. I understand the value of having a proficient teacher in such a difficult subject, mine brought me from 50% to 91% by the end of school, something I would like to do for others.

I am in second year studying a Bsc in Biological sciences. Biology has been my passion and direction since grade 10 when my teacher taught me to appreciate the wonders of life, which I would like to share with prospective students.

Geography is a subject that is highly possible to do well in as most of the work is based on standard principles to which simple logic must be applied. If you work the right way with geography, it becomes a subject you need not worry about.

English is a difficult subject to do well in as it requires a broad understanding of the subject and not just learning facts and reciting them. I aim to increase the understanding of the language so that my student will do better in tests and exams

In my first year at Wits I got 86% for life sciences. I am passionate in biology and love the work that I do, I hope to go into cancer research in the near future.
