Psychology

I qualified for my BA degree (with Distinction), majoring in Psychology, in 2017. In 2018, I am completing my Honours degree in Psychology. Throughout my undergraduate career, I obtained distinctions for every psychology module I was registered for.

Media Studies

I majored in Media Studies at Wits, achieving distinctions for all my third-year modules. I was subsequently accepted to move onto my Honours degree this year, but have chosen to focus on my other major: psychology.

English

I obtained a distinction for English in Matric (2014) and went on to achieve a B grade for Literature in Year 1 of University. In high school, I was also awarded a valediction prize for English creative writing. I am an avid reader and love writing.

Arts & Culture

I obtained 91% for Visual Arts in Matric. I won prizes at my high school for photography (my chosen art medium). In 2017, I was an intern gallery assistant for an art gallery in Braamfontein.

Life Orientation

I obtained 84% for Life Orientation in Matric. I also believe my degree in Psychology (and my current work towards obtaining my Honours in Psychology) will supplement this subject well.

History

In matric, I obtained 86% for History. I enjoy the essay-writing and use of sources that encourages critical engagement which the subject focuses heavily on.

Art History

I obtained 91% for Visual Arts in Matric. I won prizes at my high school for photography (my chosen art medium). I also enjoyed the subject's focus on art history immensely; and learning about different artists and artworks.

Afrikaans

Afrikaans FAL was my highest-graded subject in matric, with 92%. My family is Afrikaans, and thus I am well acquainted with the language.

French

I obtained a distinction for French in matric. I have not practiced the language since completing school, however, and so I would prefer to only tutor the basics of the language to a beginner.

Lifestyle

I was a Golden Key mentor for a first-year student at Wits. I aimed to guide her through the challenges of transitioning and adjusting to the demands of being a varsity student, as well as offering academic support where possible.
