Merrick B
Tutor in Hillcrest, Pretoria • 20 years old
Bio
I am a driven person who is very passionate about problem solving. I also love to help other people achieve their goals and am willing to help however I can.
In my grade 10 I become complacent and allowed my marks to drop from 80% to below 70%. I worked extremely hard the following years and managed to achieve 7 distinctions and an 88.3% average in grade 12. I believe I can help others to do the same. I am also a great leader. My main sport in highschool was rowing where I was a coxswain. Leading 8 other men taught me how to be a great leader.
Education

My Proudest
Achievements

Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
Mathematics was my favourite subject at school. I always enjoyed learning new ways to solve problems. I think everyone can do well in mathematics, they just need the right assistance which I believe I can provide.
Physical Science
Physical science was a very difficult subject, especially in my final year. It requires a lot of work and commitment. Great marks are most definitely possible. I came to have a great understanding of the subject in my final year. It just required the right guidance.
Geography
Geography is thought to be an easy subject but it is not always. The large workload and specific requirements can be overwhelming. I believe my understanding of the subject can greatly assist someone in need.
Life Sciences (Biology)
I am a matriculant of the class of 2021. I found Life Sciences to be a very enjoyable subject. The subject can get very confusing at times but with some assistance, it becomes much easier. I found many ways to improve my marks which helped me achieve an 80.
Afrikaans
As an only English speaker, I found Afrikaans FAL to be difficult at times but I found many ways to make the subject easier which guaranteed my 80 by the time I got to matric. I believe with enough help anyone can achieve their goals for Afrikaans.
