Subjects taught
  • Chemistry

    I obtained a 90% for organic chemistry as a second year at University level. My current Doctoral studies are focussed on effects emerging contaminants in water environments have on biological life. This research is based in labratories where I have to artificially create these environments. A grate understanding of Chemistry is thus a big part of my daily work.

  • Biology

    I have always had a great interest and passion for biology. I obtained my BSc degree in Biological Sciences (Majors: Physiology and Microbiology) and Masters degree in Environmental Science at the North-West University. My current Doctoral studies are focussed on effects emerging contaminants in water environments have on biological life. A grate understanding of Biology is thus a big part of my daily work. In my 8 years experience I have learnt how to communicate complex concepts in simple ways so my audiance members can understand new findings in presentations, scientific papers and classes.

    I know Physics can be tough, I had it as a subject until the end of my first year at university, where I achieved a 90% average. Let me help you with the tricks I've learnt to better understand this subject in high school.
