I have always had a natural aptitude and passion for English, specifically literary studies. In high school I also took FS English and received the Spoken English award, the English Subject Prize award, a gold certificate in the English Olympiad, and I ranked in the top 1% nationally for English.

Passionate about History, I enjoy connecting past events to the present and future. My Humanities Award and recognition for my Matric research project highlight my dedication and academic strength in the subject.

Drama was my top subject in school. I received the Mclurg Trophy for theatre arts in recognition of my continuous contributions to practical elements in performance in 2024. I also ranked in the top 1% nationally for Dramatic Arts, and I attained the Drama Subject Prize in 2022,2023, and 2024.

In the beginning of highschool, biology and I had a rocky relationship. I started to apply myself in my studies so that by matric, I was able to rank in the top 1% nationally for biology IEB. I am studying psychology in university which allows me to continue with biology at an advanced level.

I have always had a proficiency with Afrikaans as most of my family is Afrikaans and I took Huistaal for two years in high school. I am naturally a language-brained individual, and because of this, my teaching methods are creative, in-depth, and catered to each student.

Having struggled with Maths myself, I learned to break concepts into simple steps. Through self-study and tutoring my younger sister, I developed strong skills in explaining Maths clearly and building understanding.
