About Uvile

In high school, we were forced to cover all the topics in the CAPS syllabus and not just those that we were sure we would cover for the exams so I am very comfortable with all the content in the History Caps syllabus.

About Enkosi

History is just a subject I'm truly passionate about. I had to take it as an extra subject but I still managed to get 96% for it. I achieved this having only attended 5 history lessons with my teacher. I'm looking forward to sharing the strategies that got me the 96%

About Rumbi

History was my favourite subject in High School because my teachers were very good at giving us the big picture of each topic and managed to get into the mechanics of answering each type of question. I hope to do the same for any student struggling.
