Christiaan B - Tutor in Century City

I have always been a numbers person, with exceptional mathematics and computer skills. I like to explore the relationships between numbers, and translate digits and data into stories. These stories can explain the origin of the universe or simply how nuclei change with temperature. On a personal level, I am detail-oriented, organized, and precise in my work. I have strong communication skills with a knack for clear and illuminating presentation.

Subjects taught

General Maths & Science
I have a Phd in nuclear physics. Physics and mathematics go hand-in-hand. For example the shape of nuclei are described by spherical harmonics. During my work at iThemba LABS I used mathematical and statistic modeling to describe physical environments.
