Bio

I am motivated, passionate and enthusiastic. I believe that there is little that cannot be achieved through hard work and determination or explained with understanding and patience.

My approach to learning and studying is rather simple- proper understanding of the work followed by practice. When you can break a rather complex subject down into straightforward steps, you make the process much simpler. It would be my honour to share my knowledge with you so that you don't struggle on your own! Patient explanations for proper understanding are the key to successful academics.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 9

I have always loved Maths and the way that it works. I believe that the rules required to face any Mathematics problem can be broken down and understood in order to be applied to the syllabus. I consider myself able to teach these methodologies.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12

English is a fascinating subject which everybody should find a way of expressing themselves in. When teaching English, I delve into the mentality it takes to approach the subject so as to allow application of this to all areas of English.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I absolutely adored Biology in high school. Being both theory and practical based, this subject is specifically great to teach. Once all the concepts are understood, learning the terminologies and nuances becomes much simpler to learn.

Geography

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Admittedly, I self-taught myself Geography in school due to an incompetent teacher. The result of this is a deep and lasting understanding of the subject. I would love to share my approach to learning Geography with others.

  • Language Tutoring

English

Beginner - Advanced

I am confident in both my ability to produce quality advanced English pieces as well as helping those who are not as confident reach this level. Coherence, structure and understanding of the English language are all aspects of this I will deal with.

  • University Tutoring

Psychology

First Year - Second Year

I plan to qualify in Psychology and have a deep love for the subject. I spent a great deal of time and effort understanding and making notes on Psychology in my two years so far. It would be great to share this effort with others for their benefit.

Philosophy

First Year - Second Year

Philosophy can be a tough subject to grasp. With the right mindset and approach to the material and the assignments, it is possible to do well in this subject. I believe I developed a trustworthy formula to getting results for philosophy.
