Subjects
- University Tutoring
Psychology
I am currently doing a Research master's degree at UFS and have exposure to both postgraduate and undergraduate modules. I have a passion for psychology, psychological concepts and helping young people navigate the challenges of university assessment.
Research Methodology
Writing your first research report in your Honours year is a daunting task precisely because it requires self-motivation. I am good at helping individuals to set their own targets and can advise on how a research report is structured (including APA referencing).

- School Tutoring
Afrikaans
My receptive Afrikaans is proficient. Basic sentence construction comprehension is the foundation for success in the senior phases of High School, and I have effective strategies for improving in these areas that I have tested on myself.
Geography
Given that I took Geography to Matric, mapwork is a part of the geography syllabus (particularly at a grade 9 level) that I can explain proficiently alongside broad Geographic phenomena like weather and climate.
English
I am good at helping individuals discouraged or frightened by High School English see the beauty and fun in language and reading. Given my tertiary field of study, humanities, which is mainly essay based, I can assist individuals struggling with English structure paragraphs and sentences.
Life Orientation
L.O throughout High School requires the practical application and understanding of life skills that I can assist with if applying or understanding concepts is a point of difficulty. Given that I have a psychology background, tutoring LO would require similar skills.

Reviews from others
“Antonina has settled rather quickly into a routine with Shirdesh. She has made the 2 lessons so far interesting and easily understandable for Shirdesh. Antonina always comes prepared with work, notes and activities. She motivates him and encourages him during the lessons. He is now beginning to enjoy Afrikaans.”
