Bio

I am a BSc Physics and Chemistry student who is fascinated by Physical Science and Mathematics. I enjoy studying in my free time, and coding C++ and STEM fascinate me.

I'm just a normal human being, there is nothing innate about why I'm good at what I do, like everyone who practices a skill consistently, I became good at teaching. On a side note I enjoy cooking with my mother, she is a wonderful teacher too. I have my own small chemistry setup, for small projects like growing ammonium nitrate crystals, or making soap from coconut oil (oleic acid) and NaOH.

Education

• Degree in animation and gaming (The Animation School, AIU)
• Physics and Chemistry student (UNISA).
• Mostly self-taught in Maths. There is so much Mathematics, one field does not cover.

My Proudest
Achievements

• Teaching the daughter of the woman who once taught me; I was told one day that her general Maths mark increased by +45%.
• Getting a degree in animation.
• Synthesizing 80-90% pure aspirin.
• Second Dan black belt.
• Excelling in Maths.
• Learning bass and guitar.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC, IEB

As a BSc Physics & chemistry student, I enjoy studying and tutoring Mathematics. I have a lot of patience to explain to my students. Currently, I tutor in-person lessons and have had good results in my students, one increased by 45%.

Art

Grade 1 - Grade 10 IEB

Degree in animation and game design. I personally can do the techniques of painting and theory (rule of thirds ec.) but history of art is not part of my skill set.The history of animation is However.

  • University Tutoring

Mathematics

First Year - Second Year

I love it when I get to tutor in the field of mathematics, it is natural to me. I enjoy the process of giving someone the same ability and understanding that I have, and so far I have been successful. I even took an additional math subject, not required for my degree, just for the enjoyment of it.

Physics

First Year - Second Year

Looking for a deeper understanding of physics, or just looking to get the marks to pass? I am more than willing to help in either case. Naturally good at teaching, an excellent physicist, and with extensive knowledge on the subject.

Chemistry

First Year - Second Year

I know that chemistry is not an easy subject for many people in general. I know which methods tend to work best and I am confident that through repeated success, I can hence prove why I am an excellent tutor.

Linear Algebra

First Year - Second Year MAT1503, MAT2611

If it's Linear Algebra 1 or Linear Algebra 2 that you need help with, I'm the right person for the job. Linear Algebra 1 is very geometric, focusing on the vector as an arrow. Linear Algebra 2 is general; rules of when a set is a vector space, functions as vectors, and the inner product.

Organic Chemistry

First Year - Second Year CHE2623

I'll be honest, this is one of those sciences where you need to get a feel for it and there is a lot of memorizing involved. Still, though, let's work through it together because it is not only a valuable skill in a field of science where there is always work but once mastered it becomes an art.

Calculus

First Year MAT1512, MAT1613

As a tutor for Both Calculus A and B, with a background in studying higher dimensional calculus and differential forms, I have extensive knowledge of this module. Many of the concepts in Calculus are critical to understanding more advanced topics like differential equations.

Mechanics

First Year - Second Year PHY2601

Mechanics is a very challenging subject and even I find Classical Mechanics stressful at times. However, with proper studying and training, it becomes surprisingly easy to tackle the problems at hand. I learnt there is a way to ace this subject, but it does take devotion.
