Subjects taught
  • English as a foreign Language

    My social work course required a lot of report writing and research. 4 years of intense report writing has given me great writing skills. I write poems and short stories I read a lot and even worker in Exclusive Books for 2 years because of my love for books. I had English as my First additional language in High School and received very high marks.

  • History

    History was one of my favourite subjects in school and in university. I am a big researcher and documentary person. What makes me best at teaching this subject is my ability to be creative. I have a way of creating stories (sometimes with movement) to help a student retain the information better. By making the content more interesting the workload becomes less draining and more fun.

  • Afrikaans

    My home language is Afrikaans. I grew up in Pretoria and speak suiwer Afrikaans. My schooling from Primary school to High School was in Afrikaans. I did every subject in Afrikaans and received high marks. I love Afrikaans and find it easy to teach and because I was forced to completely change from Afrikaans to English when I entered tertiary, I have a high level of compassion and patience when it comes to teaching this beautiful language.

  • Biology

    I had biology in High School and it was my favourite subject and one of my highest marks. I also studied biology and anatomy after school. I grew up in a family of nurses and have had my nose in biology books since I was little. The subject is one I am passionate about and that I can also give creative ways in retaining the information given. Storytelling and visualisation is a big aspect of my tutoring style. Especially in biology where the visuals are there for you but you need to link the theory and information to it.
