Brian K - Tutor in Melville

Hello there I matriculated from Michaelhouse in 2011 and went on to pursue tertiary education at the University of Witwatersrand in 2012. Since then I have acquired a Bachelors in Health Science (BHSc) majoring in Molecular Medicine, a Postgraduate Diploma in Scientific Studies in Genetics & Biochemistry, and a Bachelor of Health Science with Honours (BHSc Hons) in Human Genetics. I am currently doing my masters (MScMed) in human genetics and looking to further myself in the field. I am a very energetic individual with a lot of heart and drive to help people. I have a passion for maths and science,as well as a keen interest in teaching. I have helped out numerous students during my undergraduate studies as part of small study groups. I have taught one individual commercially who had a 15% increase in their maths mark and 10% increase in their physical science mark.
