Ashley P - Tutor in Meadowridge

I am a student at the University of Cape Town, studying Astrophysics and Applied Mathematics. I matriculated in 2015 as the Dux student of Curro Bankenveld in Witbank, Mpumalanga. I enjoy interacting with people, and Mathematics and Physical Science were my favourite subjects in school. I studied medicine for two years, and so I have a wide knowledge of human biology. I also received distinctions in all of my subjects, and am an avid reader. I speak both Afrikaans and English, and can understand basic Xhosa.

Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    Mathematics was my favourite subject in school, and I have completed Mathematics and Applied Mathematics courses at the University of Cape Town. I believe in understanding the mathematics behind a problem to enable students to solve simple and more complex problems using a ground-up method.

  • Chemistry

    I have completed two varsity level chemistry courses, and received a distinction in chemistry in matric. I have additional resources to aid in learning. I believe in making notes and drawing diagrams to further understanding, and create a step-by-step method of solving simple to complex problems that students will encounter in exams.

  • Biology

    I completed two years of medical school, and therefore have a good knowledge of human biology, and have many additional resources for study. I also received a distinction in matric for biology. I love to draw, and can aid students in creating labelled diagrams of subjects under study.
