Bio

PhD candidate and researcher venturing into being a lecturer in future. Personally, I'm a friendly, yet firm individual who believes in putting effort into achieving goals but also has fun doing it.

My experience being a tutor at UKZN (2020 - 2022), and my high school tutoring (2012-2014) has helped hone my skills of relaying information and abilities to make students open to asking questions. My tutoring style is not dependent on just "lecturing" the content to my students, but it's about active participation and engagement; providing better retention and students achieving greater GPAs.

Geography

On a personal level, I became a volunteer Geography and Life sciences tutor to my peers in grades 11 and 12. Professionally, I have been a Supplementary Instructor Leader (tutor) for 3 years at UKZN PMB Campus for both GEOG110 and GEOG220 (Geography modules) respectively.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC, CAPS

I began reading books in 3rd grade and have loved literature and English since. I have informally tutored my peers in the past, specifically on grammar, creative writing and literature-related content. Currently, I'm doing my TEFL certificate which has been advancing my skills in teaching English.
