Machiel G
Tutor in Woodside, Pinetown • 38 years old
Bio
I have a wonderful wife and two super cute boys. I am a full-time evangelist in Durban. I love sport, have completed the Ironman. I love academics, especially knowledge that deals with people.
I believe in three principles in the pursuit of academic studies. First, "simplify". My own studies have forced me to learn how to simplify complex material. Second, "understanding is key to remembering". It is more important to spend time on understanding than "parrot studying". Third, "how is just as important as what". How to remember material, makes a big difference, and I know how.

Subjects
- University Tutoring
Psychology
Psychology was my favorite major subject while completing my Bth. at UWC. And it was also the subject I performed the best in. Over the last ten years I have had the blessed opportunity to test the claims of Psychology while working with people.
Research Methodology
I have always had a keen interest in truth. And research leads us to truth, but the methodology must be correct. Therefore, research methodology is/was always a priority for me to understand.
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
Apart from obtaining an A for math in grade 12, I also managed to do well with Engineering math at a tertiary level (Civil engineering).
