Subjects taught
  • Pure Maths

    I am very good in mathematical analysis, be it numerical, geometry, algebra or trigonometry. I passed this subject with 81% which qualifies as a distinction in South Africa. I like to put things in perspective using mathematical analysis which I believe makes one's reasoning practical especially in engineering problem solving.
