Louise B - Tutor in Black Rock
Hello. My name is Louise, I am from London England, however moved to South Africa in 2012 to live permanently with my South African husband. We have a 22 month year old daughter who is the joy and light in our lives. In England I completed my GCSE's (matric equivalent), and thereafter furthered my education by completing three A-Levels and one A/S Level (college equivalent), in Art, English and History. I continued to further my education and at the age of 18 moved cities in England to complete a Bachelor Degree. I completed my BA degree in Art and History in 2003 at De Montfort University Leicester, England. After my BA Degree I decided to do (and I completed), a Prosthetics and Make-up 'private' diploma course for the Film and TV industry. Once I completed the three month course, I pursued and delved into the Film and Theatre industry, which I thoroughly enjoyed for a year or so, but then decided to change my career path... I was given a wonderful opportunity at a London Municipality and worked for six years there, working up the ranks as an officer in a number of fields. I then decided to recruit as a police officer in England, and after a long haul through the lengthy recruitment process...I finally passed all the exams and tests and became a Police Officer in 2009. I served the public to the best of my ability until deciding to move here, to South Africa. I am now doing the last year of my second degree (now in Law), and would love to share my knowledge thus far. I am very methodical, reliable, and have got mainly distinctions to date. I am looking for part-time work whilst I study, and being a tutor sounds perfect. I would love to help fellow students. Kind Regards, An enthusiastic Louise Brereton

Police Officer
A Police Officer protects the public from crime - deterring, investigating, apprehending and prosecuting criminal offenders. As a police officer I had a number of ‘powers’, some of which are set out by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act of 1984 (PACE) including powers relating to custody and stop and search. A Police Officer's daily responsibilities are varied and may change each day along with the situations encountered. In a normal day a Police Officer may have to perform any of the following duties: • Responding to emergency 999 calls, and requests from the public to assist at incidents; • Providing emotional support to victims of crime.
