Bio
I am an enthusiastic KZN farm girl with a passion for science and teaching. I'm completing my Masters in Genetics at UP while working full time in marketing and customer relations in Johannesburg.
Having tutored university students as part of my Honours course, I have learnt that each person has a different way of learning and understanding the work at hand, and so it is important to approach every student differently. I am patient, and have no problem going the extra mile to help someone understand a concept.

Subjects
- University Tutoring
Mathematics
The first year Maths course was very similar to the work that I covered in Matric, so I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I feel equipped to assist others with it.
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
Maths is a subject that I understand well at school, and so I would often help my classmates with their work. I took Core Maths, Maths paper 3 and "Ad Maths" at matric level.
Life Sciences (Biology)
I really enjoyed Biology in school, and this is where I discovered my passion for Science. I particularly found the aspects of Genetics that were covered interesting.
- Life Skills
Public Speaking
During my post graduate studies I was exposed to many situations allowing me to master the skills required for giving presentations to large audiences. These include presentation preparation, posture, and question preparation.

“Catehrine tutors well in such a way that it doesnt seem as if she's just trying to nail the stuff into my head so that i can do well. She has this cool way of making me understand the work at my own pace. ”
