Life Sciences (Biology)

I achieved Cum Laude for my undergraduate Biochemistry degree, with one of my main subjects being Physiology ( University-level life sciences). I love the subject and also enjoy helping others understand the concepts.

Chemistry

I have completed a first year Chemistry course which was complementary to the school syllabus. I am very good at explaining this subject, due to my passion for it and have helped my varsity peers in this regard.

English

I achieved a near distinction for English Home Language in my final school year. I completed an Internationally based schooling system (ACE School of Tomorrow) from grade 1-10, which greatly aided my language skills, through, for example, extra spelling courses.

Business Studies

I received a Distinction for Business Studies in high school and have taught the subject on a volunteer basis at Louis Botha Children's Home.

Homework

I volunteer at Louis Botha Children's Home as a part-time tutor and help the children with homework.

Mathematics

I have previously tutored high school Mathematics and achieved a distinction for my University Mathematics module as part of my B.Sc Biochemistry degree (Module WTW 134).

Physical Science

I have experience teaching Physical Sciences, and studied the subject further in University, achieving a Cum Laude for both my undergraduate and Honours Biochemistry degrees.

Mathematics Literacy

I achieved a distinction for my Mathematics module at the University of Pretoria as part of my BSc Biochemistry degree. I also have experience tutoring the subject.

Life Orientation

I enjoy teaching life skills and achieved a distinction for the subject in Matric.

Biochemistry

I completed my B.Sc undergraduate and Honours degrees with distinction (Cum Laude) and have experience tutoring the subject.

Genetics

I have completed two years worth of genetics courses, covering introductory genetics, molecular genetics, and genetic diversity and evolution.

Physiology

Learning body functioning is a passion of mine. The courses I completed were in Neurophysiology, lung and renal physiology, acid-base balance and temperature, circulatory physiology, as well as digestion, endocrinology and reproduction.

Applied Statistics

I have completed a course in Biometry, and am highly skilled when it comes to solving and explaining the problems presented. I am able to understand the subject matter in a logical way and have helped fellow peers with this course in my first year.

Organic Chemistry

I am able to visualize and understand the problems presented, something quite crucial with regard to explaining Organic Chemistry. I have completed a semester course in Organic Chemistry which was also combined with a semester in Physical Chemistry.

Microbiology

I achieved distinctions for the Microbiology courses listed, as part of my B.Sc Biochemistry degree.

Swimming

I achieved the second highest National level in swimming (National Level B or Junior), under the guidance of renowned national coach, Dean Price. I would love to teach the necessary techniques and help others develop a passion for the sport.
