Bio
I am a patient and soft-spoken person, therefore my learners never feel intimidated. I break down difficult topics into smaller fragments which my learners will be able to ingest bit by bit.
I identify my learners' strengths and weaknesses and tailor the sessions around that. In a patient and calm manner, they get to understand better. There is nothing too difficult for me.

My Proudest
Achievements
• In high school, I was always a top learner because of the hard work I put in, and therefore, passed matric with 7 distinctions. In varsity, I passed my honours degree in record time, without repeating a single module. Currently, I'm tutoring 3 high school learners who are showing great improvement.
Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
I obtained a distinction of 99% for Maths in Grade 12 and was one of the top students in SA. I studied Mathematics in my 1st and 2nd year at university achieving 93 and 98%. I am knowledgeable on topics such as Differentiation, Integration, Advanced Calculus, element set theory and Linear Algebra.
Mathematics Literacy
I studied pure maths in school and proceeded until mathematics 2 in varsity. I believe my knowledge and skills will help mathematics literacy learners.
Physical Science
I passed physical science with a distinction in high school. In varsity, I studied physics and chemistry as majors. This gave me an in-depth understanding of physical science which I feel can be shared with learners in school.
Life Sciences (Biology)
Life Sciences is a subject that explains the processes in our bodies. I always find a way to make it fascinating so learners will be more eager and curious to understand further.
Sepedi
Sepedi is my home language and I would be proud to teach any learner who has difficulties.
