Bio

I am a teacher who's very passionate about the subjects I teach and my students' well-being. I make it a personal goal of mine to see that my student succeeds and is satisfied with my explanations.

I am a young man who loves learning myself. Since primary school, I have been reading ahead of people of my level to gain more in-depth knowledge. While Math is my strongest and favourite subject I find joy in teaching English and Physics as well. When I do not know a certain topic well I am upfront about it and I usually research it and master it in a small amount of time.

Education

• Finished high with distinction in 12 IGCSEs and 7 IB subjects. Currently 3rd year BSc at UCT with distinction where I tutor courses: CS 2nd year & below, Stat 1st Year & INF2009F. 3 years tutoring XP.

My Proudest
Achievements

• 1. Being the Valedictorian of my high school group with the most impressive scores in the country (41/45 IB points)
• 2. Receiving an academic merit scholarship among over 2000 students.
• 3. Average of First-Class passes (80%+) at UCT (currently 3rd and Final Year)

Reviews from others

“Simba understands my son's strengths and weaknesses in maths. My son also very much appreciates the fact that he gets repeated explanations regarding what he has learnt and areas where he needs to go a little deeper in his understanding. I also find it very positive that a trusting relationship has developed between them.”
