Duncan R - Tutor in Kenilworth
I am a data scientist and maths enthusiast, passionate about sharing and teaching what I learn. I gained extensive tutoring experience over my five years of study at UCT, where I graduated with distinctions in mathematics, applied mathematics and mathematical statistics, followed by first class honours in applied maths. I have been course tutor for 1st year mathematics and 2nd year statistics courses, while also tutoring many maths and science 1st year courses as part of UCT's Help@Science initiative, which I was part of for three years. I have thorough, shareable notes on all subjects I have studied and tutored.

Statistics
I achieved a first in all mathematical statistics courses I did at UCT, both in undergrad and honours. I am now a data scientist, so I can offer practical experience to illustrate statistical ideas. I have tutored both 1st and 2nd year statistics and I can tutor at a high school level too.

Further Maths
I achieved 88, 88 and 95 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year mathematics at UCT, with the class medal for 3rd year. I have extensive experience tutoring maths at a first year level. I am a patient, enthusiastic tutor and I am happy to tutor maths at any high school level as well. I can also help with MAM2000W and MAM3000W at UCT, since I have thorough notes and a strong understanding of those courses.

General Maths & Science
I have a broad understanding of maths and science, having studied and tutored maths, statistics, mathematical physics, chemistry and biology at university level, achieving at least 79 in all courses. I think it is crucial to have a holistic view of science and mathematics when tutoring any of the subjects.
