Hi there! My name is Alex. I am a 23-year-old female and am from Cape Town. I recently graduated from the University of Stellenbosch with a BCom degree in International Business. I will be enrolling at City, University of London in September to study a master's in Health Management. I consider myself to be a warm, friendly person and am particularly good with young children.

  • General Maths & Science

    I enjoy tutoring mathematics to primary school children. I achieved a distinction in high school for the subject. Primary school science is important for students to understand how the world works around them. To me, it makes logical sense and can explain the topic well by using examples they can relate to.
