Bio

I am passionate in everything that I commit to, and go above and beyond to deliver on promises to myself, and others. I am empathetic and approachable and will always be there for my students.

On many occasions, I was not a natural when it came to certain concepts in the classroom. As a result, I have had to work out ways to gain an understanding by explaining things to myself in simple terms and then building on that knowledge to get to the required standard. I will be able to do the same for my students, allowing them to understand concepts thoroughly and excel.

Education

• 2017-Current: Bachelor Of Health Science (BioMedical Science) at Wits University
• The improvement in my students' confidence and results after we have worked together is the most rewarding feeling!

My Proudest
Achievements

• I achieved a distinction in all of my Subjects at school
• I was invited to be a member of the Golden Key Society at University
• I was awarded a Champagnat medal in my Matric year, which is awarded to students that are involved in every aspect of the school, as balance in life is very important to me.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I have always had an affinity for Physics as it explains many things we see on a daily basis. In my first year of study at Wits I took Physics as a full year course which further solidified and added to my knowledge and skills from school.

Geography

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

My teacher's passion for the subject instilled a passion of my own. I hope to in still a confidence and passion in my students which will reflect in their marks. I received a Distinction for Geography.

Chemistry

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

In addition to completing Matric Chemistry, my Degree required me to take Chemistry as a full-year course in first year. I believe that this has given me a deeper understanding of the content and will allow me to impart my knowledge more effectively.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

My Afrikaans teacher was so passionate about Afrikaans and this definitely rubbed-off on me! I aim to teach students my tricks to excelling and in doing so, allow them to be confident and at ease during a paper. I received a Distinction for Afrikaans

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I am currently studying Biomedical Science and Biology has always been a major interest of mine. After taking Biology at a first-year level, I am confident that I will be able to effectively teach my students difficult concepts in a memorable way.

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 11 IEB

I believe that Mathematics is a 'building-blocks' subject. If the foundations are weak, It will be difficult to expand on them later on. Thus I make sure that my students have a good grasp on concepts which will benefit them now, and in later years.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

Instilling an appreciation for a language with vast nuances is something that I'd like my learners to take from my lessons.
