Bio
I am understanding, patient and tolerant. I believe in putting in the effort to get a better result each time, that means no matter the difficulty you are facing, and I do not give up.
It is the fact that I do not give up on a person, once I make it my duty to help this person unless they tell me they do not need me anymore. This is because when a person is quiet it is most likely they have given up or they are in challenge, but they are doing it all alone. So, you need to constantly remind them of your presence until they are comfortable to reach out as well.

Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
In my experience of tutoring I have learned that students need to understand the mechanics behind, pick a starting point and then practise problem solving.
Life Orientation
Many tips of life you learn from home and friends, but there are cetrain topics which they might be afraid to discuss which this subject addresses. It requires an individual who has good communication skills, and being able to select a great choice of words.
English
Our daily basic communication is English, with the aid of reading books and articles I have improved greatly in the language. Working online has had a great impact in bettering and polishing aspects that I did not think could come handy when speaking and writing.
Chemistry
Chemistry is like learning a new science language. You need to know the basic ideas by heart and only then you can start exploring the complex ideas. What is fairly important about chemistry is being able to make connections.
Zulu
I did Zulu until Matric and I have been around Zulu speaking people my whole life, I have a very great background in the language in both writing and speaking it.
- Language Tutoring
Conversational English
It is fundamental to be able to hold basic English conversations since it is the universal language. It is important to be able to understand instructions or answer simple questions about yourself since there are not always translators around to help out.
