Subjects

  • School Tutoring

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12

English was one of my favourite subjects in high school as I enjoy reading and writing. Studying law has only increased my knowledge and understanding of the English language. I can help with your comprehension, grammar or general writing skills.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Coming from an Afrikaans home certainly gives me a natural advantage in Afrikaans as an additional language. I have also been in English schools since primary school so I have no doubt I will be able to help you better grasp the Afrikaans language.

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 10

Maths is like anything else, practice makes perfect. Practicing can be difficult so I assist you on your journey to mathematical excellence by guiding you through practice. My accounting background enables me to show you some practical application.

Life Orientation

Grade 1 - Grade 12

The key to succeeding in Life Orientation is staying up to date with any projects/assignments and studying theory. Being a full-time accounting and law student has definitely taught me various soft and hard skills that I believe can help you succeed.

Accounting

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I achieved a final result of 95% for accounting in Year 12. I have a bursary from PWC and will start CA (SA) articles with PWC in 2022. I completed my final year of BAccLLB at Stellenbosch in 2020 and will be doing my honours in Accounting in 2021.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I am passionate about history and finding ways to make it fun. I always achieved top marks for my history essays and studying law has certainly bettered my writing skills. I have developed good techniques for summarising, memorising & writing.
