Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
I have over four years experience tutoring Mathematics at a high school level, during which time I have tutored a number of students from both the Cambridge and IEB syllabus.
Life Sciences (Biology)
I was employed as a tutor for Zoology and Botany at Rhodes University, where I was able to help over 50 students in the course of three years. Additionally, I have been privately tutoring biology at a high school level since 2016.
English
English has always been one of my favourite subjects, and I love teaching literature and creative writing. I have participated in several Olympiads, which have taught me to analyse literature and poetry particularly well.
Physical Science
Physics and Chemistry can often feel extremely overwhelming for students, as they are often so complex and difficult to study. I pride myself on my ability to break these complex ideas down and make it accessible and fun for students.
