Lauren S - Tutor in Somerset Park
I am an energetic and enthusiastic woman, with a BA degree in Social Dynamics and Postgraduate degree in Education, intermediate phase Cum Laude. My passion lies in the outdoors and with nature, as well as believing that the continual broadening of one’s horizons is obtained through travelling and exploring different cultures. I draw my energy from sports and activities, which has cultured me into a hardworking, persevering and diligent person with a great work ethic and immense motivation to achieve the goals I set myself. I am a young person with integrity and honesty and have a positive outlook on life. I became interested in teaching in my final year of school at St Johns DSG where I completed the IEB matric curriculum. Spending hours helping others I soon found myself becoming the ‘go-to’ tutor, that’s when I knew helping and teaching others was what I enjoyed doing. With my good work ethic and eagerness to learn, I started my undergraduate at the University of Stellenbosch. I chose the course BA Social Dynamics as I enjoy learning about the behaviours and interactions between people and different groups of people. I went on to major in Psychology and Sociology. After graduating I went on to study and complete my PGCE and achieved Cum Laude.
