Robert H - Tutor in Welgelegen 2
My passion is educating others and helping them reach their goals. Since early 2018 I have worked full time as an educator in Sport Management and Sport Marketing, and in 2019 I added Coaching and Fitness Science to my workload. Further, for the past two years I have worked as an ad-hoc external moderator for Boston City Campus. In 2018 I founded Pacer Running, working with runners from the elite level to beginner, as well as organising trail running events. I am also a competitive runner with a focus on ultra trail distances, as well as being an ambassador to Altra Running and Squirrels Nut Butter South Africa. I pursued a certificate in Personal Training from the Exercise Teachers Academy in 2007, and worked as a supplement sales promotor and a representative from 2007 to 2011 for USN, SSN, and Biogen. I have worked as a personal trainer, Wellness and Fitness Manager in fitness clubs, data acquisition and testing manager, and technical writer. I have a passion for human and exercise physiology, people management, technical writing, research methodologies, education and assessment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit." -Socrates-

English as a foreign Language
Holding a 120-hour Teaching English as a Foreign Language, I am equipped with the necessary qualification to formally teach this. I was further meant to currently be teaching English in China, however, the COVID-19 outbreak put a sudden halt to these plans. Because of this, I have furthered my knowledge and skills in teaching English, and strive to help those who need it.
