Bio
I am a dedicated husband and father who looks for creative solutions to problems and enjoys a challenge. I firmly believe that every person is unique and has value.
In my eight years of tutoring, I have learned how to meet students where they are at, and bring out the best in them. I am friendly, but firm, and look for the root of a problem, not just the symptoms. My own busy life has taught me how to help my students manage their time effectively. I do not give up on people, but persevere until they grasp a concept. I am fully bilingual.
Education
• Tutoring since 2010 with specialisation in remedial work
• Tutor at an Impak study centre in 2015
• Currently studying for a BTh at Unisa
My Proudest
Achievements
• Whilst at school I was a high achiever in both culture and academics, but since then my proudest achievements have been teaching Afrikaans to a total beginner in only two months, and repeatedly helping failing students raise their maths marks by over 20%.
Subjects

Art
Art is my passion, and I have a natural understanding of it. I also understand the importance in theory. My extensive knowledge and experience inspire my students in their studies.
Natural Science
I have extensive subject knowledge and my fascination with the subjects affects the way my students see the content.
Exam Preparation
I feel that thorough exam preparation needs to be taught. I mastered this skill during high school and I am still using it at University. I helped a student move from a D to a B- with final exam preparation in 2014.
History
I am passionate about history, I get excited about it as if I was there, this coupled with my subject knowledge pushes students to make the passion their own.
Mathematics
Mathematics has always been an area that I thrive in. I believe that though some are not made for Maths, there's still room for me to get them excited about it.
Social Science
I am gifted in providing a solid foundation for this subject, allowing students to excel in later grades as they continue with History and Geography.
Afrikaans
I am completely bilingual and can teach Afrikaans as a First Additional Language or Home Language. I have been tutoring Afrikaans for 10 years.
Art History
Art is my passion, I love to do it and teach it. I believe that I am able to draw students to a deeper understanding of the content and draw out a passion in them.
English
I am passionate about language and have taught English to numerous students since 2013, my knowledge of the subject has grown through my own studies in Humanities and I love to make this knowledge practical for the best possible use of the language.
