Amirah C - Tutor in Rondebosch
Hello! I am currently in my fourth year of university pursuing a BA LLB. My interests include reading, writing, current affairs, politics, foreign languages and cultures. I am passionate about helping others, especially in the sphere of teaching. As someone who has benefited from having a tutor myself, I understand the importance of such a job. I am able to adapt easily to a variety of situations and can swiftly identify and solve any problems that may arise. My extensive tutoring experience and involvement in various youth empowerment programs allows me to easily connect with students and adopt new methods of teaching to students who are failing to understand the standard curriculum and need new avenues to understand the content. With the right help and guidance, no subject is impossible!

History
I achieved 91% for my final History matric mark and I am a lover of all things history. My skills acquired as a law student (essay writing, critical thinking & analysis, judging sources) will be beneficial to the subject of history as the skills are transferable.
