Rykie J - Tutor in Waterkloof Ridge
I am very patient and like to be well prepared. I want to help learners reach their full potential and achieve their specific goals regarding their Academic work but also hope to help them with personal growth. I recently completed my Bachelors in Dietetics and with this I know that a little help can go a long way. I hope that the techniques for studying I have learnt over the course of my studies will be beneficial to those I have the opportunity to tutor. A bit about my personality. I am very approachable (friendly), patient, calm and relaxed.

Experience
Registered Dietitian
I work at various clinics in the Saulsville and Attridgeville areas where a typical day involves me seeing patients, doing screenings, health talks or outreaches. I councel patients who need to adapt their dietary habits, these do not only inlcude overweight or obese individuals but a wide range of patients. Some of the patients I see include HIV/AIDS patients, Diabetics, renal failure patients, children that have Acute Malnutrition or who are struggling to grow properly, and also pregnant and lactating women. There are many other patients I also see but the list would become a bit extensive.
Education
Bacelors in Dietetics - University of Pretoria
I am a registered Dietitian working for Tshwane District Offices, however throughout my studies I learnt that I have a passion for teaching and hope to do it part time through tutoring.
Subjects taught

Mathematics
I always had trouble understanding certain concepts of maths until I met someone who explained it to me in a way that just made it all feel so simple. I hope that I can help others see their potential and help them reach their goals in mathematics.

Biology
I had this Molecular and Cellular Biology in my first year of study and many other subjects that built on Molecular and Cellular Biology such as Biochemistry, Physiology and Human Nutrition. I also struggled with this subject in the first few weeks which required me to adapt my study methods until I got the hang of it. Sometimes it takes some practice to get the correct study technique.
