Bio

I am an energetic and engaging person, passionate about making work as interesting, applicable and memorable as possible!

I have found that the best way to help others, is to make the process as fun and student-centred as possible. This means responding to their needs and learning styles instead of simply applying what worked for me. I have a diverse set of skills due to my work as an au-pair, TEFL teacher and Home Care Assistant as well as tutor to peers throughout school, and now university.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

English, literature and linguistics has been a strength of mine, beginning with my voracious reading appetite as a child. I have a passion for making this subject engaging and as interesting for others as I have found it to be.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

Life Sciences was a personal favourite subject throughout high school. I tutored peers throughout gr 10-12 and focussed on highlighting the connections between sections, to give better context and application to this subject and make it practical and engaging for those less passionate about it.

Drama

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I graduated high school achieving a top 1% grade nationally for Dramatic Arts. I am excited about both theory and practical aspects of this subject and developed a keen eye for direction, which assisted my peers in the final practical exams, as well as making theory memorable and engaging.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

History developed excellent essay writing skills which have transferred through into my professional and university career well. I am very passionate about making this subject interesting and applicable for students and developing a keener approach to persuasive writing.

Life Orientation

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I found LO to be a good subject to engage with current issues and develop a more focussed argumentative skill. My strengths lay in the management of the project work, as well as the development of my essay writing skills which enabled me to express opinions clearly and concisely.
