Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    My experience with the subject as well as in depth understanding of its concepts makes it easier for me to break it down to understandable chunks to my students at all levels of learning, my experience also in tutoring the subject has taught me how to deliver the concepts to different kinds of people who think differently, the techniques I've acquired overtime have made me a competent tutor for the subject

  • Computer Programming

    For me programming is not just a set of instructions a person gives to a computer, but rather it is a very important tool that one uses to solve different problems with differences in difficulty, in my field I've assisted a lot of my colleagues to grasp both simple and complex programming concepts, developed my self enough to be one of the top 15 students in the computer science stream at UKZN, my goal is to influence my students through equipping them with programming skills that would help them solve almost any problem using a computer.

  • Physics

    I am a very big fan of science and in my experience tutoring it I've acquired a great deal of ways to deliver it to students. My interest in science and the way of thinking that comes with it is what has always drove me to excel in it and have the desire to help other excel also.
