Subjects taught
  • Afrikaans

    Afrikaans is my home language, it is simply the language I am most comfortable in. I achieved over 90% for Afrikaans in matric and was one of the top nationwide learners. I can assist students with all aspects of Afrikaans, from spoken word to literature, creative writing and poetry.

  • Music Theory

    I did both Grade 6 UNISA and ABRSM music theory, in addition to music as a subject during matric, and have achieved a distinction in all. I am also a pianist and cellist who have a practical understanding of music. I'll show you that music theory is not something to be stressed about at all!

  • Biology

    I am a 4th-year medical student and feel equipped to tutor most of the medical subjects. I also feel competent to teach high school life sciences. Being at university forces you to work quickly and smart, and I hope to instil some of my techniques to other students.

  • Physical Science

    I have a passion for all the sciences, ranging from biology to physics, I achieved over 90% for physical sciences in my matric year, and I believe I have learned many techniques to maximise study time for physics.

  • English

    I was the top English Home Language performer in the North West province when I wrote matric in 2016 with an average of 96%. I believe that I am well equipped to help students achieve their full potential with English.
