Thomas B - Tutor in Craighall
I was born in Washington DC then I moved to South Africa where I grew up. I went to the Ridge Primary School then I went to St Stithians High School. After attending high school I completed a diploma in Sports Development and Management. I have a huge passion for coaching children and seeing them develop as they get older. I also have a huge passion for teaching children and providing them with the education that they deserve. I have had the wonderful opportunity of working and studying full time. I am currently in my Third year of a Bachelor's Degree in Education through Unisa. I have a SACE certification which I renew each year until I finish my degree. I have had the wonderful opportunity of working at Vuleka Primary School from February 2018 to December 2019. I am very fortunate to be working now as a teaching intern at St Stithians College, as part of the Thandulwazi Internship Program. In my spare time I love to read and watch sport and if I have time I play golf. I am a fun and enthusiastic person and I strive to make a difference with the students that I work with.
