History

I am a History major at university. I started loving History in Grade 10. I was doing quite well in the subject to the point that I started helping out my classmates and the class average drastically increased. I tutored university History 101 and my tutees excelled.

Tourism

I was a dux learner in 2019 in my school and I was helping my classmates. Even now, I still get learners from my school that ask for help privately and they come back with positive feedback that they did well in their studies.

Life Orientation

I realise that most people tend to assume that Life Orientation is easy and, in return, they get low marks. I used to lead a group of friends that I helped to study this subject and during finals, everyone did very well.

English

I tutored my siblings and I was involved in community engagement whereby I was teaching students English. Between Grade 10 and 12 I received a certificate for being the most consistent learner.

Xhosa

I started doing isiXhosa in Grade 7. I transitioned from Setswana. For a beginner, I did very well. In Grade 12 I passed with 85%. I volunteered in an orphanage in Grahamstown and most of the kids I taught obtained over 70%.

Xhosa

My siblings did Afrikaans in primary school and due to a financial crisis, they had to transition to a public school whereby isiXhosa was a home language. I was the only one who could help them. Their marks didn't improve immediately but with time they did.
