Marius has been a superstar and I can highjly recommend Marius. He is dedicated and passionate. I do believe though he is under utlised and he should really be a lecturer at the University. Thank you.

Bio
I'm an aeronautical engineering PhD student that does a bunch of maths and physics. I balance the nerdiness out (or don't) with a passion for music and PC games.
I've had to teach myself a lot of the material I've had to learn thus far (rather than relying on lecturers). I learned to understand difficult material in terms of simple, physical ideas. I often helped my friends understand topics at university once I figured them out, and ended up tutoring a number of different engineering courses while I was at Wits. I've also tutored high-school maths before.

Subjects
University Tutoring
Mathematics
First Year MATH1014 (Wits University, Engineering Maths)I use the basics of Engineering Mathematics on an almost daily basis. Having completed my MSc(Eng) in Aeronautical Engineering, I have a good knowledge of practical applications of the subject to interest the learner with.
Mechanics
First Year - Second Year PHYS1015, MECN2001, MECN2007, (Wits University, Mechanics and Applied Mechanics)Applied Mechanics, much like Engineering Mathematics, is a discipline I am involved with almost every day. Most people are familiar with Mechanics in every day objects -- they just don't know it yet!
Fluid Mechanics
First Year - Fourth Year MECN2000, MECN3002 (Wits University, Fluid Mechanics I and II)With an MSc(Eng) and PhD (on the way) in Aerodynamics (which is just Applied Fluid Mechanics), this is not only a subject I am familiar with. It is a subject I am passionate about.
School Tutoring
Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 Cambridge AS/A2Studying engineering certainly helped improve my skills in Mathematics since I wrote my exams for A-Level Maths!
Advanced Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 Cambridge AS/A2Studying engineering certainly helped improve my skills in Mathematics since I wrote my exams for A-Level Maths!
Physics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 Cambridge AS/A2Fun fact -- I got the highest mark for Physics in South Africa in the November 2007 Cambridge A-Levels exams! I've also done a lot of Applied Physics in my undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
