I am optimistic and never give up on achieving my goals no matter what. I love to encourage and help my students to do the same- even those who are on the verge of giving up.
I enjoy teaching and encouraging my students to do nothing but their very best. I am patient and able to step into the shoes of the students I work with. I meet each student where they are academically and remain supportive as they strive towards achieving their goals.
• 2014- Stellenbosch University
• 2017- South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP)
• Matriculating with a pass good enough to land me a spot in Stellenbosch University despite the academic challenges I faced during my highschool years. I really had to fight to win and I'm grateful. This proved to me that there's nothing that one cannot achieve when they are truly determined.
Afrikaans
I have always had a passion for learning languages. Having studied Afrikaans First Additional Language throughout high school, I have a strong command of the language because I enjoy the process of learning it. I wish to help others understand it better.
English
I have always had a deep appreciation for English because it is my home language. I was also involved in public speaking and have participated in a number of writing competitions, winning two. I am able to help others with all aspects of the language.
Life Orientation
I utilise knowledge from my study towards a degree in Psychology (as I work closely with the Life Orientation syllabus) in order to ensure that the learner succeeds and fully has an understanding of the content that he/ she needs to cover.
Mathematics
I am well experienced in tutoring both primary and highschool Mathematics. Learners have all shown a significant improvement as I am patient and ensure that I put in the greatest amount of effort in order to ensure that the student grasps each concept.
Lifestyle
I'm studying towards a degree in Psychology because I am passionate about helping people, particularly learners, to remain persistent no matter how tough their situation may appear to be (Accademic or otherwise).

“I was abroad so I didn't have any interaction with Mellie. My son has ADHD and homework is always a fight with him. But he responded well to Mellie's teaching methods, as well as her pleasant, kind and patient disposition.”
Beatrice
“Although she no longer lives as close to the house as she used to, she always makes an effort to come and conduct her lessons with Musa. Her willing nature seems to be rubbing off on Musa. She is also patient, and is able to challenge Musa to think harder than he would normally. I know it might not”
