Bio
I am Drake Slabbert and I am currently busy with an MSc in Entomology. I enjoy tutoring and explaining topics in a different way to ensure that my learners understand these topics on a deeper level.
I have been helping other students since I was in high school, where I would explain different topics to my friends. After high school I started working at MasterMaths where I worked for 4 years as a mathematics and science tutor. I have also tutored in different university modules and I love approaching problems in multiple ways until I find a way that makes sense to a student.

Reviews from others
“Drake is an exceptionally proactive tutor. He consistently inquire about what to prepare in advance and schedules lessons thoughtfully. His structured approach has directly contributed to a marked improvement in Charlize's last semester exam results.”- Louisa
“Drake verstaan sy persoonlikheid baie goed en het ook insig in die uitdagings wat hy as Graad 12-leerling ervaar om by die boeke uit te kom. Wat ek veral waardeer van Drake, is sy groot aanpasbaarheid en bereidwilligheid om lesse te skuif indien daar iets voorval. D vind maklik aanklank by hom, juis vanweë sy vriendelike en ondersteunende benadering. Hy doen ook ekstra moeite en stuur addisionele studie materiaal. Dit was sover 'n moeilike jaar maar ons sien uit na goeie resultate die einde van die jaar.”- Suzette
“Drake is always well prepared. Lienka is more and more confident in science due to Drakes tutoring. Thank you Drake”- Leigh-anne
