Being a member of the top Maths set, a participant in the UCT Maths competitions and many olympiads throughout high school, I excelled in this subject.

Life Sciences (Biology)
Biology is a very relevant subject in my current Medical degree. It is a subject that, at school, requires a lot of time and dedication, of which I am willing to give to students. It is a subject I am greatly passionate about.

I excelled at English in school. It is my home language and I was also the assistant English teacher at a school I worked at on my gap year for Grade 4 and 5 students.

Physical Science was always challenging, however it was because of my teacher that I grew to love it. I preferred Chemistry to Physics, however I excelled in both. I took science to Matric and also had to do Chemistry in first year at university.
