Bio
l am a curious individual-l have insatiable appetite of mind-blowing surprises that evolve around my environment. l also enjoy poetry, that's the best way l connect with people.
When it comes to tutoring, l was raised in a community which did not always have excellent teachers and books. Mostly l had to take an extra mile to grasp concepts and tackle topics ahead. l understand why many people fail and how others excel because l have been to both extremes. I have volunteered to tutor in my community and l have realised a common pattern among those who fail and excel.
Education
• l am a final year student at University of Cape Town, studying B.Sc. Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering.

Qualifying to sit for the Physics and Mathematics National Olympiad Examination while in high school helped me to maintain an open mindset.

I was a leader and tutor in Math club in high school. l have been volunteering in my community and school to help students doing STEM subjects. Having been someone who always dominated my entire grade, especially in Math, l cannot wait to help you excel and enjoy your academic journey.
Mathematics IGCSE Cambridge
My early experience as a tutor enabled me to switch easily into the student's shoes and work together for change. It also made it easier for me to understand my students and also evaluate and construct various methods to help. No matter your background in math, We will work together from bottom up.
Mathematics Literacy
As someone who has been searching for x and y throughout high school, I understand how it is to be clueless and intimidated with figures and diagrams; how hard it is to sometimes grasp new concepts and dread tests. And l have also come to an understanding that Math should be fun!
Physical Science
As someone who has endured high school, l know how it feels to write an exam in uncertainty. l know there are some topics/concepts which l thought l will never grasp. And l understand the feeling of being confident and impatient to write my exams. l will help you to excel and enjoy your academics.
- University Tutoring
Mathematics
As someone who has endured high school and 1st-year maths, l know how it feels to walk into the exam room with uncertainty and why the presentation of concepts matters. l also understand the feeling of understanding a concept and being impatient to sit for your exams. l will help you to excel.
Chemistry
Do you have a subject you hate (or hated)? Well, to me it was chemistry. Fortunately six months prior to my final examination (which determined my career path), it became my favourite subject and l was one of the top-performing students. I will help you excel and love the subject!
