Bio

I am a happy, motivated individual who is passionate about people. I love learning, reading, art, connecting with others and devoting myself to making the world a happier place.

My very motivation to study Psychology has been based on my love for people; and reflects my devotion to living a more compassionate life that is beneficial to humanity. Last year, I mentored a first-year student through the challenges of tertiary education, and found our interaction immensely rewarding. I hope to continue my studies in Psychology, and become a counsellor.

Subjects

Psychology

First Year - Second Year WIts University modules, years 1-3

I qualified for my BA degree (with Distinction), majoring in Psychology, in 2017. In 2018, I am completing my Honours degree in Psychology. Throughout my undergraduate career, I obtained distinctions for every psychology module I was registered for.

Media Studies

First Year - Third Year BA modules at Wits, years 1-3.

I majored in Media Studies at Wits, achieving distinctions for all my third-year modules. I was subsequently accepted to move onto my Honours degree this year, but have chosen to focus on my other major: psychology.

  • School Tutoring

Psychology

Grade 1 - Grade 12 Wits University modules, years 1-3.

I qualified for my BA degree (with Distinction), majoring in Psychology, in 2017. In 2018, I am completing my Honours degree in Psychology. Throughout my undergraduate career, I obtained distinctions for every psychology module I was registered for.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC; Year 1 courses at University

I obtained a distinction for English in Matric (2014) and went on to achieve a B grade for Literature in Year 1 of University. In high school, I was also awarded a valediction prize for English creative writing. I am an avid reader and love writing.

Arts & Culture

Grade 1 - Grade 9 NSC

I obtained 91% for Visual Arts in Matric. I won prizes at my high school for photography (my chosen art medium). In 2017, I was an intern gallery assistant for an art gallery in Braamfontein.

Life Orientation

Grade 1 - Grade 9 NSC

I obtained 84% for Life Orientation in Matric. I also believe my degree in Psychology (and my current work towards obtaining my Honours in Psychology) will supplement this subject well.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 10 NSC

In matric, I obtained 86% for History. I enjoy the essay-writing and use of sources that encourages critical engagement which the subject focuses heavily on.

Art History

Grade 1 - Grade 10 NSC

I obtained 91% for Visual Arts in Matric. I won prizes at my high school for photography (my chosen art medium). I also enjoyed the subject's focus on art history immensely; and learning about different artists and artworks.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 9 NSC

Afrikaans FAL was my highest-graded subject in matric, with 92%. My family is Afrikaans, and thus I am well acquainted with the language.

French

Grade 1 - Grade 3 NSC

I obtained a distinction for French in matric. I have not practiced the language since completing school, however, and so I would prefer to only tutor the basics of the language to a beginner.

  • Adhoc Tutoring

Lifestyle

Beginner - Introductory

I was a Golden Key mentor for a first-year student at Wits. I aimed to guide her through the challenges of transitioning and adjusting to the demands of being a varsity student, as well as offering academic support where possible.
