Meg A - Tutor in Rondebosch

I am a third year UCT student majoring in Genetics and Biochemistry. I have always had a passion for learning and I enjoy helping other people find that passion and succeed in their studies. Over the years, I have adapted and perfected my study techniques to fit the "study smart, not hard" ethos, with promising results. Patience is one of my strengths, this which I believe to be integral to my ability as a tutor. I have a fair amount of experience: as the Head of Academics in my matric year, I ran revision classes; I was a peer tutor at high school; and I have privately tutored several students.

Experience / Education

I matriculated in 2016 and I am currently in my third year of a Bachelor of Science at UCT, majoring in Genetics and Biochemistry. In my matric holiday, I had a waitressing job in order to earn some money to save, as well as to get a taste of the working world. For the duration of my first year of university, I was privately tutoring a number of primary and high school students in a range of subjects. I plan to do my Honours degree in Forensic Genetics, or move over into the Faculty of Law.

Subjects taught

Mathematics
Maths has always been one of my favourite and strongest subjects. I finished matric with an average of 94%, as well as completed my AP Maths exams. When it comes to maths, I believe practice to be of utmost importance. Therefore, my tutoring would have a focus on repetition and problem-solving skills in order for the best results to be achieved.

History
The study of history is not only my favourite school subject, but an ongoing passion and hobby of mine. I love being able to share the excitement of this subject with other students and help them to learn the importance of our history in shaping the world as it is today. I am skilled in essay-writing, source-analysing and note-making. I finished matric with 96%, completed my AS levels exams and have also taken university history courses.

Biology
Biology is such an interesting subject because it is the study of living things and how they interact. For this reason, it can also be rather confusing at times. I can therefore be of assistance in understanding processes, finding ways to remember tricky words and making notes. I finished matric with 94% and have also take university biology courses.

Physical Science
Physical science is so important as a basis for the study of the sciences. Therefore, I want to help students improve their problem-solving skills, as well as help them to understand difficult concepts. I have lots of experience with science as I am now close to finishing my BSc. I am patient and hard-working.

Grammar
Reading and writing have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember and I have always had an appreciation for the English language. I finished matric with a 94% average and have also completed AS levels in English literature. I am able to assist with not only grammar, but literature, reading and writing too.
