Bio

I am passionate about knowledge and enjoy being able to share tips and tricks that I have learnt. I aim to explain concepts in creative, memorable and understandable ways to ensure the best outcomes.

I always aim to match the level of whomever I am explain concepts to by using clear, understandable language and relating concepts to everyday life. I often use pictures or diagrams as I have found that it can make explanations clearer and easier to understand. I also often check-in with whomever I am teaching to ensure understanding and to answer questions for clarity to prevent confusion.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I am currently a first year medical student. I obtained an A in life sciences in my matric year and have participated in the International Biology Olympiad 2024 in Kazakhstan. I am passionate about biology and enjoy carefully dissecting concepts to make it easier to learn and understand.

Information Technology

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I pursued IT as a subject in high school as I enjoy coding and creating projects. I find the logical nature of IT incredibly fulfilling and getting concepts to ‘click’ is extremely rewarding. I obtained an A in IEB information technology in my matric year.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

English gives perspective and depth to build knowledge and understanding of the world. I love actively engaging and challenging others to dig deep and think beyond the surface level. I particularly enjoy poetry and the creative nature of the language. I obtained an A for English in my matric year.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I chose history as a subject in high school as I really enjoyed relating the past to the current state of the world. History offers a series of facts and sequences of events that help explain and shape our understanding of the world. I obtained an A in history in my matric year.

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB

I am currently a first year medical student. I obtained an A in mathematics in my matric year and have participated in SAMF olympiads throughout high school. Breaking down mathematical concepts into basic understandable concepts is a useful way that I am able to explain tricky concepts.
