Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    I have over 9 years of experience teaching Mathematics privately and recently as a home school teacher. I also managed a Mathematics center for more than 3 years and I am familiar with both IEB and NSC curriculum work. My students improve by an average of 30% after two months and I have helped many of them not only learn to love the subject but also attain distinctions.

  • Afrikaans

    I am a native Afrikaans speaker and have helped many second language students over the years. My degree in English has given me an excellent understanding of how to integrate English and Afrikaans in a comprehensible way.

    I attained the NRF bursary for Honours in English Literature at Wits University and was asked to teach first year students. I have also taught many high school students and have helped them achieve distinctions in English. I am also a passionate writer and poet.
