Bio
I am doing my PhD in Marine Biology at the University of Cape Town, focusing on using mathematical modelling to understand the processes on cold-water corals reefs.
I enjoy learning new things and sharing that knowledge, I think the desire to share knowledge combined with a desire to see school students perform as well as they can will make me a great tutor.

Subjects
School Tutoring
Life Sciences (Biology)
Grade 1 - Grade 12 AS LevelI am currently doing my PhD in Marine Biology. Biology has always interested me and I would love to be able to pass on some of the knowledge that I have gained over the years.
Physical Science
Grade 1 - Grade 12 AS LevelPhysics is a balance of Mathematics and logical thinking. Having taken Physics at a first year level, I feel that I am in a position to help other who struggle with this subject.
Chemistry
Grade 1 - Grade 12 AS LevelChemistry is often bunched with Physics at a school level, it would be nice to help those who have the opportunity to take this subject by itself do well at it.
Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 AS LevelWhile I am a biological science major, my honours, masters and PhD work has focused on the application of mathematical modelling to biological systems. I look forward to the chance to help others improve , and to foster enjoyment for the subject
