I received an A for both core and AP English in the IEB syllabus. My experiences also include Oxford University courses in language, literature and creative writing as well as extensive public speaking. I will be attending a premiere UK university.

My experience with History, apart from classroom learning, includes extensive international travel, Young Historians competition and leading study groups during school. I can assist with study tactics, explanations and exam techniques.

I was in the top 1% of IEB candidates for my Life Orientation final. I can assist with tasks, studying techniques, explanations of the material to better understand aspects and help with answering techniques (for instance, with discursive essays).

I've been playing Saxophone and Piano and doing Music Theory for many years. I got honours for jazz band. In my high school music class I was known for creating fun, interesting ways to learn the rules. I have passed the Grade 6 ABRSM theory exam.

Studying can be challenging and it is difficult to find the right tactics. Having finished high school and several short courses and helped my younger brother with his own studying, I would like to try help others so they can study more effectively.

I'm a native English speaker and have always loved the language. I've done many oral competitions and have experience conversing/helping people who are not native English speakers. My parents and grandparents all teach in academic environments.
