I love working with people and helping out in any way I can. I have recently graduated from UCT where I studied a BSc in ecology and biology.
I am patient and understanding. I know that everyone grasps concepts in their own way and at their own pace, so from my side, consideration and patience is key to your success. I have had holiday club, baby sitting and informal tutoring experience which have all taught me how to effectively communicate with different people.
