Subjects
- University Tutoring
Psychology
I achieved the highest aggregate in my Honours year at Stellenbosch University (2018). I have also done side training in Traumatic Incidence Reduction, and practical counselling.
Philosophy
Sometimes, all that necessary to make this difference between understanding philosophy and not, is one well placed metaphor or analogy. I feel good humour is very handy to help the learning process for this subject.
- School Tutoring
Life Sciences (Biology)
In addition to matriculating with biology, I have also done an Honours level psychology module in neuro-psychology and the nervous system, which is meaningful as these are also themes assessed in high school.
English
I am a home-language English speaker. I also took English studies in University, completing my undergraduate with a Major in Applied English Language Studies.
- Life Skills
Counselling
I have a psychology honours (81%) inc. psychotherapy (89%) & applied community psychology (93%) [inc.; practical work, 6 hour interviewing workshop, 5 hour intro to counselling, 6 hour follow-up counselling workshop]. I have also done TIR training.
