Ruby O - Tutor in Rondebosch

Hello friends! I'm a first-year English, Linguistics and Film & Media Studies graduate at the University of Cape Town. I only just finished my matric so know exactly what it feels like during this stressful studying period. I'm a dedicated student who always strives to acquire the best grades and am very hard-working. I was born in England but moved here to an Afrikaans community so have the ability to speak that language fluently. I love to read and watch movies. I'd love to help struggling students achieve the highest grades to the best of their ability in this time of need.

I also did extremely well in my matric finals with 91%. I'm a fast-thinker, easy problem-solver and love helping students to conquer the subject.
