Bio
I'm a Joburg-born student, completing a PhD in Philosophy, and plan to follow a career in lecturing/academia. Both of my parents were teachers and apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
I always think that the best way to teach a subject is to find a way of explaining it that makes sense to the individual student. Much of the teaching that I've done has involved trying to find ways of explaining difficult and complex concepts that will make them simple, understandable - and interesting! I also like to be very patient - no matter the level.
