Tutor in Observatory, Cape Town • 8 years old
Bio
Not only do I study biology at UCT, but I am so overly enthusiastic about this subject that I enjoy spending my free time tutoring it. Occasionally I need a break and I tutor some science and maths.
Instead of parrot learning, I like to focus on finding innovative ways to not only remember but truly comprehend the content being studied. To do this I have many tricks and techniques, from mind maps to flash cards etc. I also understand who studying is frustrating and am therefore patient when I am tutoring. Due to studying biology, I have a in depth knowledge of most high school content.
