Luke F - Tutor in Plumstead

Hi, I'm Luke! I'm currently a computer science student at UCT and I've always loved the sciences (sometimes maths is a pain but you get used to it). I went to Westerford High School and took pure maths, history, biology and physics as my choice subjects. In matric I scored As (above 80%) across all my choice subjects, and my favourites were physics and biology, but of course I needed strong math skills for physics. I'd love to tutor you and hopefully help you improve in the subjects you might be struggling with.

Subjects taught
  • Pure Maths

    I scored 82% for my pure maths final exam in matric (96% in the MOCK exam) and I feel confident in my math skills. I'm taking an application maths course in university that includes functions, algebra, series, and patterns, and I think I can help students to improve their math abilities at the high school level.

  • History

    I scored 84% in my final history exam in matric, and I think that I could help pass on my knowledge of essay writing, time management, and learning strategies to any student wanting to improve their history results at the high school level.

  • Biology

    I scored 86% for my final biology exam in matric (92% in the MOCK exam), and I feel very confident in my ability to learn and understand concepts in the biological field. Biology was the second subject I wanted to study most, and I'm taking a cell biology course in university. I think I could help teach other students how to learn, memorise, and understand concepts in biology that they may be struggling with.

  • Physical Science

    I scored 88% for my final physical science and chemistry exam in matric, and I'm currently taking a general physics course at university. I think I am more than capable of providing students with the knowledge they need to improve their skills in physics at the high school level.
