Mathematics Lessons in Johannesburg with Mitchel H

Bio

I am a young, calm and motivated post graduate student at UWC who will probably end up as an academic. I love learning, knowledge and creating social justice - no matter the subject or cause.

From high school to the present, my life has been a mixture of academics and a deep need for Tikun Olam (repair the world). From helping out at the after school program for refugees, teaching computer literacy in Ghana to giving free tutoring for those who need it but can't afford. I'm patient, understanding and believe that everyone, with the right support, can achieve beyond their expectations.
