Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 10 IEB

I enjoyed assisting my peers with Algebra and Trigonometry as I was confident in these two sections. I enjoy Maths as it is challenging, yet extremely rewarding at the same time.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 10 IEB

I was in the top class for English in High School. My greatest skills in English lay within Speech Writing and Grammar.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 10 IEB

My Afrikaans marks steadily increased throughout my High School career. I feel capable in the Grammar section because the rules are rigid and don't involve much interpretation.

Geography

Grade 1 - Grade 10 IEB

I am a lover of nature and thus have an innate interest in Geography. I have spent extended periods of time in the bush, thereby enabling me to see much of the Geography syllabus in physical form.

Music Theory

Grade 1 - Grade 9 Trinity Music College

I completed my Grade 6 Piano Theory exam in 2014 and achieved a Merit. I thoroughly enjoy this subject as it enables you to see the technical side of music, whilst still enjoying yourself.

German

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I lived in Germany for five months whilst conducting a bursary exchange semester in a small town called Konstanz. This bursary was granted to me based on my proficiency in the German language (I have reached level B2.2)

  • Music Tutoring

Piano (Classical)

Beginner (Grades 1 - 3) Trinity Music College

I have been playing the Piano for 12 years and have thus developed a love for the instrument. I've completed my Grade 7 Practical exam and Grade 6 Theory exam, for both of which I achieved a Merit. I have also taught many of my friends simple songs.
