I loved and excelled at French during high school, achieving a final mark of 91% at the end of my Matric year. After school, I spent 3 months living and working as an assistant English teacher (for Grades 0-12) in France, which I also loved.

I have just finished my Honours in Justice & Transformation at UCT. Politics, International Relations is also one of my undergraduate university majors. I have the skill set and knowledge required to do well in Politics. I'll also share my old notes.

I struggled with Afrikaans initially, but finally got the award for Most Improved student, with an increase of around 40% in my marks from Grade 8 to Matric, when I got a Distinction in the subject.

English was always one of my favorite subjects at school, as I have always been an avid reader and have a very cultured family life full of references to classic works of literature.

History was always one of my favourite subjects, and although it was quite a Western syllabus during my time at school, I am very interested in African history as well and will be able to adapt my knowledge according to the student's needs.

I always struggled with Maths, but decided to dedicate myself to the subject in my matric year which made me grow to love the subject.

Drama was always one of my favorite subjects, and I was particularly good at Drama Theory. My love for, and interest in, the subject will provide extra encouragement I'm sure!

When I was in France during my gap year, I taught English to children from grade 0 to Matric for 3 months and found it really rewarding. Proficiency in both languages was a huge asset as well, but I am sure I can apply the skills I learnt to others.
