I am ambitious and driven. I thrive on challenge and constantly set goals for myself, I'm not comfortable with settling, and I'm always looking for an opportunity to do better and achieve greatness.
I believe that true success is measured by the people around you and that once you achieve something if possible help those around you by giving them a push. This is why throughout high-school I made it a must to help learners that were struggling with certain subjects. I am an empath and constantly try to help people as it brings me joy when they are happy.

Accounting
Accounting has always been my passion. So much so that I am currently studying a CA(SA) stream. I was a peer tutor and often taught my class when the teacher was unavailable and I tutored learners after school
Physical Science
I am more passionate about Physics than Chemistry. I admire the work of Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. I was a peer tutor in high-school and enjoy teaching and watching a learner understand their work.
Geography
The study of places and the relationships between people and their environments is very interesting, so much so that I became a peer tutor to assist fellow classmates in grasping this subject. I often taught the class when the teacher was unavailable
Homework
I volunteer at the local children's home and help all grades with their homework and studying. I am able to explain complex work in simple terms to ensure the learner grasps it. I am patient and passionate about teaching.
Economic Management Science (EMS)
EMS is the foundation for accounting in NSC, any learner that wants accounting in grade 10 needs to understand the foundation well. I am currently studying accounting science at Wits and thus, I have an in-depth understanding of the subject to assist anyone at any level.
Life Orientation
Life Orientation is one of those subjects that you really enjoy and are able to apply what you are taught into everyday life. I fully understand all the components of this subject, as well as giving study skills to understand and ace ALL exams.
Natural Science
Before doing Physical Sciences, you need to do Natural Sciences. By doing Physical Sciences in high school, I am able to understand the concepts and content taught in Natural Science. My love for nature, comes as a benefit when teaching, as I am able to incorporate this.
Exam Preparation
I am a diligent student and always plan my schooling year from the very first day. I have helped multiple friends and classmates, prepare study timetables and break down the content. During study week, I am able to help my peers who are behind understand the subject with content summaries.
English
I am fluent in English. I love reading, so much so that I spend most of my day doing it. From grade 1 all through high school I was always the best reader. I have experience in tutoring English. I love the language, and always find a way to play with the words to give a new meaning to learning.
