Cylanthea B - Tutor in Pretoriuspark

Hello, My name is Cylanthea Boshoff. I am 25 years old - it is not THAT old I promise - and I have a passion for teaching and helping students, kids, and people from all walks of life who would like to learn. I am not purely an academic as my hobbies and interests stretch far and wide from a love for Chemistry to growing and using my own medicinal mushrooms called Reishi mushrooms. I have a deep appreciation for holistic and philosophical practices and use my experience in these fields during our lessons; simple concentration exercises, the creation of will and duty etc. I studied a double major in Chemistry and Geology at the University of Cape Town; gained two diplomas from the Gemological Institute of America and am now a qualified diamond grader. My dream is to one day work in mining extraction processes as well as to develop my own cosmetic products - I really love Chemistry and so will be a great teacher to you making the material not only relevant to life but also fun ! Furthermore I practice all forms of art as well as poetry. I find languages to be beautiful living things and it will bring me great joy to help you see them that way too instead of struggling on in the midst of words you don't understand. I am friendly, outgoing and approachable encouraging people to ask "Why?" so that they may better understand.

Subjects taught

English Literature
I have a passion for all things literature! From poetry to plays , or simply just a novel. I revel in well used language and pictures created from the most exquisite words. Having a knack for explaining abstract concepts in easy to understand terms, I will be able to get you through the sometimes daunting material. Maybe you will even love it as much as I do when we are finished!

Mathematics
I believe everyone needs to have a firm grasp on Mathematics to essentially understand the world we live in better. I realise Mathematics can be daunting and so I aim to make it fun and relevant. Having done theoretical Calculus at University level I have a bit more of an understanding of how the small building blocks taught in school will contribute to the larger picture one day. This drives me to make sure my learners excel in these building blocks as to make further studies much easier for them!

Afrikaans
Afrikaans in my home language and I am very passionate about my mother tongue! The language is rich in colourful idioms and expressive words. I love teaching the language to people as it comes rich with culture and in South Africa is enables you to get along better i many parts of the country.

Science
My biggest love in life is Chemistry as the possibilities with an understanding thereof is endless! In my teaching I make Chemistry not only relevant to your day to day life but I make it fun too! I find Science vital in understanding the world from your skincare to your food intake, working with dad in the garage and so much more!

Philosophy
Through philosophy you can heal yourself and your world. You expand your mind and learn to think in the abstract. Being greatly spiritual and understanding concepts of the mind soul and spirit I find it easy to grasp philosophy. Seeing what a difference it can practically make in your life to live by philosophical principles I am passionate and eager to share this knowledge and help others understand.
