  • 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.

Reviews from others

“Johann has been super patient, gentle and kind with Josh in explaining things again when he doesn't get things at first. Josh has enjoyed all his sessions and usually seems very upbeat after his session and feeling proud that he understands the work better. His marks have also improved very nicely. Josh got 81% for his last exam on his report and we are super proud of him.”
