Stuart A - Tutor in Pine Park

I attended Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg, followed by University of Natal (as it was then) where I completed a B Comm majoring in Economics, Business Administration and Business Finance. I have a love of reading, both classical, somewhat obscure and modern South African writing. I reside in Johannesburg, with my wife and two daughters. Until recently I was in the technical production industry, running the operations and project management side of things to do with the setting up and delivery of major events. This industry has ground to a halt due to the COVID 19 issues, so it's time to do something else!

Subjects taught
  • English Literature

    I have read comprehensively and am very well versed in explaining concepts and interpretations in a clear manner . I believe that I understand literature, some of which does go back to my own formal education, but largely also due to simply having an interest in the subject. I have fairly large collection of books of my own, covering all manner of genres
