Bio

I'm an MSc student studying Applied Mathematics with experience helping people improve their marks. When not studying I'm off to the sea where I snorkel, sail and SCUBA dive as often as possible.

I'm patient and good at explaining concepts using visual explanations as well as just words. I like to show rather than tell people how to do things and find that letting someone find an answer for themselves is far more valuable than just telling them that answer.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I have tutored maths to students from grade 9 to 12 both privately and as part of a program organised by my teachers at high school. My students improved their marks by 20% on average.

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I loved Physical Science so much that I went on to study physics at the University of Cape Town. I have tutored people coming into the IEB system from both Cambridge and NSC, helping them adjust and improve their marks.

Geography

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I was the highest achiever in my high school for Geography, consistently scoring maximum marks for map work examinations.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I grew up with two doctors of Biology for parents, one medical the other a PhD. I have tutored life science two grade 11 and 12 students helping them improve their marks and especially essay writing. I consistently scored at least 90% for my life science essays.
