Dewald D - Tutor in Suiderberg
Greetings Knowledge lovers! My name is Dewald. I am a 30 year old teacher from Pretoria. My hobbies include sculpting, playing guitar and building miniature medieval weapons. I am very passionate about science and technology, especially space travel. I also have a First aid (CPR) qualification and I can solve a Rubik's cube in less than 2 minutes. I have traveled to 58 different countries during my time as an art dealer on cruise ships. I also have a law degree (LLB) but I decided that teaching is a much better and more challenging calling for me than being a lawyer. I am VERY patient and I cater each lesson and teaching style to the student's individual needs. I hope to hear from you soon!
