  • University Tutoring

Physics

First Year

I have extensive experience in tutoring first-year biophysics students in the differential tutor support groups at Stellenbosch university. I did this while completing my PhD in nuclear astrophysics.

Chemistry

First Year

I find Chemistry to be a challenging yet rewarding subject. As someone who has successfully navigated through its complexities, I believe I can guide my students to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
