Sayuri G - Tutor in Mowbray
Hi, guys I’m currently a 4th year BSc Civil Engineering student at the University of Cape Town (UCT). I am currently one year away from graduating and I hope to explore structural or transport engineering once I graduate. I excelled in mathematics in high-school and achieved 87% for my finals and have gone on to complete four engineering mathematics courses. I also have a great interest in history and have a firm understanding of planning and writing historical essays, which forms part of the high-school curriculum. I’ve decided to give online tutoring a try as I not only want to maintain the knowledge I currently have, I also want to be able to make a difference in a student’s life. Having received tuition throughout high-school, I hope to provide a more interactive and enjoyable tutoring service that only motivates students but also prepares them for their future academic journey.

Experience
S.M.I.L.E (St. Mary’s Interactive Learning Experience)
S.M.I.L.E was a tutoring scheme provided to grade 5 learners, who were predominantly non-English speakers. During the program, a series of learning and developmental tasks would be performed with the learners. Some of the tasks involved reading stories or role-playing. This tutoring program formed part of my high-school extra curricular and allowed me to developed my skills as a tutor.
Education
BSc Civil Engineering (In-progress) - University of Cape Town
I am currently in fourth year studying towards a BSc Civil Engineering at the University of Cape Town.

My degree has also included two physics courses and multiple civil engineering courses such as structural analysis and design.
National Senior Certificate - Durban Girls’ High School
I attended Durban Girls’ High School and my subject list included: pure maths, physical sciences , life sciences, history, english, afrikaans and life orientation. I matriculated with seven distinctions and my final mathematics score was 87%. I also achieved 71% in my mathematics NBT and 74% for my quantitative literacy NBT. Throughout high school, I have also received a combination of group and private tuition for mathematics and physical sciences. I have also partook in a series of mathematics Olympiads and had progressed to round two of the FEMSISSA mathematics Olympiad.

Math
I consider myself a good fit to tutor this subject as I have achieved 87% in my mathematics matric final. I have also achieved over 70% for the National Benchmark Tests. Being in the engineering faculty, I have completed four mathematics courses, which have included topics such as calculus and linear algebra and as such I have further developed the ability to think proficiently in mathematics. In high school, I maintained the position of being a mathematics mentor. A mentor had the duty of tutoring fellow peers (in all grades) on the subject of maths. I also received three years of consistent mathematics tutoring in high-school, which further increased my passion and confidence in the subject. Throughout high-school I also partook in several mathematics olympiads, which further developed my mathematical skills. Due to the fact that I am deciding to tutor on one course (maths), I will also be able to provide complete dedication to the student for this subject.
