I am a conscientious, animal-loving, third-year law student - I am an aspiring environmental lawyer. I am highly family-oriented; I love reading, travelling and learning - no education is ever wasted.
My empathy extends widely - children and environmental justice, as well as learning & educational growth. My desire to help others, stems from my personal struggle through school - battling to reach my own expectations, those of my parents, as well as my teachers. Academic success, like most, is rooted in courage in ones abilities, and I’d love to untap the potential of other students.

English
High school English, alongside History, were my favorite high school subjects! I’d love to assist students in grasping this multi-faceted subject, and corresponding life-skill!
Afrikaans
Many students have a mental-block towards Afrikaans. I’d love to assist fellow students in overcoming said block, that I too once had.
History
History is my favorite subject at university, as it was in school. I’d love to assist students with their exciting, school history subjects!
Life Sciences (Biology)
I loved the Life Sciences throughout primary school and high school. Having been intrigued by the intricate workings of life and the human body, biology's diagrams and functions excited me! I'd love to share my learning methods for this subject!
Natural Science
My matric subjects included Physics and Chemistry. I always found primary school natural science to be the most enjoyable! I would love to re-enable my interest in natural science, by teaching, again!
Physical Science
I enjoyed Physical Science in school, choosing it as one of my matric subjects. However, seeing as I am studying a BA-degree, I feel comfortable tutoring it up to grade 9 level, only.
History
I have received the prizes for: Best student in South African history at second year level; Best second year history student; and Best student over three years in history at undergraduate level.
Commercial Law
I thoroughly enjoyed contract law. I received a distinction for the module and would love to impart my knowledge on fellow students! I was the recipient of the De Swardt Vogel Myambo Attorneys prize for the best student in the Law of Contract.
Law
I've got a distinction average for entrepreneurial law, specific contracts, contract law and others. I am studying towards my LLB and B.A law degrees concurrently.
