Bio

I am enthusiastic and perseverant, characteristics I actively develop through my involvement in Scouting. I am passionate about hiking, reading, making art and playing guitar.

I feel that helping others is a skill one can develop. Therefore, I am great at helping others because I have done it a lot! In 2020, I was part of Outreach tutoring for History. I have been a part of many Scout-related community service projects. But teaching has been a part of my life for a lot longer, while I taught scouts perseverance through practical skills like knotting, camping and hiking.

Education

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

English

Grade 1 - Grade 9

I have been featured in English Alive (2020) for poetry, as well as in my school magazine for both poetry and prose. I have achieved consistently high marks in English, and matriculated as the top English student in my grade, and the 9th top achiever in the Western Cape (2020).

History

Grade 1 - Grade 12

My high school required History students to write two Research Essays. This, and more, has prepared me well for both the execution and teaching of essay processes. I achieved 95% in my Matric Research Essay. I have a specific and easily taught method for answering source-based questions.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Life Science is a subject that requires not only practice and memorization, but understanding of what each question is asking, as well as an understanding of the boxes that can be ticked to achieve highly. Examiners mark this subject in a certain way, and I am very familiar with this process.

Natural Science

Grade 1 - Grade 9

Natural Science is a big subject. It is learned best through creative methods to help information stick. I have experience teaching all grades this way, and the results have always been impressive.

Social Science

Grade 1 - Grade 9

This subject is content-heavy, and if topics were rushed in school one can improve marks for Social Science with a little extra time. I am skilled at teaching sections of work, and guiding students through test examples.

Geography

Grade 1 - Grade 9

To ace Geography, you need a good grasp of content and question answering techniques. I am able to teach creatively thanks to my experience learning high school-level geography at Scouts. The answering technique is easily learned through my facilitated practice.

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 11

Sometimes all a student needs to understand Maths is a different way of looking at it, or for it to be explained differently. That, and lots of time practicing! I can meet both of these needs to help transform understanding of this subject.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 9

I was invited to the accelerated Home Language Program at my High School from grade 9, which gave me an excellent grounding in Afrikaans conversation, language, and literature. I was given an award for enthusiasm at the end of Matric for this subject, and am a very engaging teacher in this subject

  • Language Tutoring

English

Beginner - Intermediate

From grade 8 to grade 11, I was a part of the Herschel Debating Team, as well as part of the team that made it to the semi-finals of the Eurasian School's Debating Championships. I was a team member in interschool Forum Discussions. I have achieved top marks in English Language exams.
