Bio

I was born in the US. From 2015 to 2018 I attended the American Internation School In Ghana. I was Head Boy and Valedictorian with a 92.2% average. I am currently studying Biological Sciences at WITS.

I was Head Boy which taught me valuable skills when it comes to leadership. My goal is to become a surgeon as all I want to be able to do is give back and help others. Growing up I faced many challenges especially when it came to my education but I persevered and can now appreciate that my learning difficulties make me specially equipped to help others. I am kind, compassionate and patient.

I achieved a high distinction for Afrikaans in my matric year. I have a deep understanding of Afrikaans which, when combined with patience I believe will help the student excel.

Business Studies

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 11 IEB

I tutored in Matric the students who were failing or were new to the subject. I am patient, compassionate, and hardworking. I suffer from ADD and therefore know that the traditional learning method isn't always for everyone and therefore tailor the tutoring approach to each individual student.
