Bio
I will always be a student at heart, and few things excite me much as the intersection of creativity and academics. As a tutor, I hope to help my clients find their own passion for the sciences.
In working with my peers at university, I have found that I have a knack for identifying the key misunderstandings that cause learners to struggle with certain problems. I deeply enjoy watching the pieces come together once these misunderstandings are resolved.
Education
• 2018-2020 BSc Theoretical Physics (Stellenbosch University)
My Proudest
Achievements
• I received Honours for academics in my Matric year and obtained a golden key in my first year of university for placing in the top 15% of my stream. Outside of academics, I am most proud of starting a vegetable garden for an orphanage while participating in an outreach program.
Subjects
- School Tutoring
Computer Programming
In addition to achieving an A symbol for the Cambridge AL python course, I also obtained multiple distinctions for computer science modules while doing my BSc in Theoretical physics. In addition to efficient coding I can teach an understanding of how programming languages function.
Physics
Though I obtained only a B symbol for Cambridge AL Physics, my passion for the subject later carried me through a BSc in theoretical physics. I believe that I can share that passion as well as teach the techniques I developed for academic success in Physics.
- University Tutoring
Mathematics
In my first year, I passed my mathematics course with a distinction. Since then I have become deeply familiar with the fundamentals of mathematics at a university level while pursuing my theoretical physics degree.
Physics
As a baccalaureate of theoretical physics, I hope I am believed when I say physics is my passion. I believe I can teach my clients the techniques that earned me multiple distinctions in physics and even share what I find so beautiful about it.
Applied Mathematics
Since the techniques used in Applied mathematics are used in all facets of a physics degree, I can confidently say that I have an intuitive, and inherently teachable, understanding of the fundamentals taught at a first-year level.
