Subjects taught
  • Mathematics Literacy

    I have mastered tutoring Mathematics over the years with more understanding of the concepts. No better teacher than experience, over the years I have been refreshing my knowledge from high school and university. One thing that worked on my advantage in my refresher was tutoring primary school maths as basics are everything! Mathematics Literacy is easier to understand and transfer the knowledge when you are a Pure Maths person. I master it!

  • Zulu

    I never did IsiZulu in high school, I dropped it in grade 9 but I have 5 years of experience tutoring it. It is easier for me to tutor it since I am a Zulu native speaker. I had a lot of training over the years in IsiZulu home language subject which is more challenging than the 1st additional one. Kids I have tutored improved not only academically but in written and verbal skills.

  • Biology

    I love Biology/Life Sciences, this was my favorite subject at school and it remains top of the list after Maths. Life Science is easier to explain and teach to the next person as everyone can relate to it.

  • Physics

    Who doesn't like Newton's Laws? Come on guys Physics is life! We are surrounded by things where Physics laws are applied. You drive in a car that applies Newton's First Law. We talk about the car accelerating, we throw a ball up, we see light, we experience friction, we push and pull objects. Get it guys? We are basically Physics! The only reason I went to the Physical Science class was because of this subject, now experience and basics over the years have added on my knowledge transfer in the subject.
