Bio

I am a productive and encouraging individual who believes in the liberating power of education. I believe in tailoring teaching style to suit the individual, as learning styles are unique.

My BA course (theatre and performance) was dependent on group work and being a reliant and helpful participant. I would often look over other students' essays and give constructive criticism because my fellows knew I achieved high marks in my essay work. I am patient and enjoy finding creative ways of educating others.

Education

• UCT (2012-2015): BA in Theatre & Performance
• Goldsmiths University of London (2016-2017): Masters in Dramaturgy and Writing for Performance
• UCT English Language Centre TEFL certificate (2019)

My Proudest
Achievements

• I was a co-recipient of the Grahamstown National Arts Festival award for Most Promising Writers for UCT’s Don’t Shoot the Harbinger (2015). I received the UCT Ruth Peffers prize.
• I co-wrote and co-directed People Beneath Our Feet, performed at the 2016 Grahamstown festival.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Drama

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Drama was my favourite subject when I was at school. I was so invested that I continued my study of Drama in university. I graduated with a first for my BA in Theatre & Performance from UCT.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I have always enjoyed crafting critical essays and creative writing projects. I completed my Masters in Dramaturgy and Writing for Performance at Goldsmiths University of London, due to my interest in scripting plays.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Although Drama and English were my main passions in high school, I knew the importance of being a well-rounded student. Life sciences opened many potential paths for me, and I would like to help other students to achieve the same.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I loved learning about obscure figures and identifying the patterns in human behaviour stretching back centuries. I would like to help the people I tutor realise the incredible wealth of knowledge inherent in studying history.
