Ashleigh D - Tutor in Six Fountains Residential Estate

I am a postgraduate student at the University of the Witwatersrand. I have been tutoring high school and university level Maths, English, Afrikaans and Biology for over ten years. My passion is helping students connect with the work and fully understand it, rather than just learning enough to pass. I believe that learning should be fun and should be tailored to each individual to make sure that they get the maximum benefit from it!
