Subjects

Life Sciences (Biology)
I am studying BSc Physical Therapy (currently in my 4th and final year of studying). I really found Biology extremely fascinating especially the human body. I would see it as a privilege to share the knowledge I have.
Physical Science
I am a 4th year BSc. Physiotherapy student. I really enjoyed Physical science at school and I also had Physics as a module in my first year of University. I had Physical Sciences as a subject till gr. 12 and a few friend I gave tutoring for Physics.
Mathematics
I had Math as a subject till Gr. 12. I really enjoyed it as well as to explain it in simple applicable ways to my peers as well as a group of younger students in my high school after school for a year and a half during my Gr. 11 and 12 year.
Geography
I had Geography till Gr 12 as a subject and I really enjoyed it during my high school course. I am really excited to give any knowledge and help where I am able.
Afrikaans
I was born and raised speaking Afrikaans and I have experience tutoring native English speakers. My passion is communication. Like Mandela rightly said, if you speak to a man in his mother tongue, you speak to his heart!
English
I have a passion for communication and helping students excel at being able to communicate in all mediums to a person's heart. I did a TEFL course and have experience tutoring students for exam preparation focusing on comprehension, grammar and creative writing.
- Language Tutoring
French
I took French for 2 years in school and I really enjoyed it. I know how much it means to someone if they can speak their home language, so if anyone is wanting to learn French I would be able to help in the basic conversation and comprehension.
Xhosa
I had Xhosa as a module at University for a year. I enjoy speaking it with my friends and strangers that I meet that are able to speak Xhosa. I am a Physiotherapy student at Tygerberg Hospital and use my Xhosa to communicate with patients often.
- Music Tutoring
Guitar (Contemporary)
I started playing guitar when I was 9 years old. I really enjoy teaching guitar to my friends specifically to the degree that they can teach themselves. I also had 2 years of classical guitar training (Trinity College syllabus) for theory background.
