History
I have received a minimum of an A in History throughout my high school years. I appreciate the subject for its ability to develop one's mind towards being able to process large quantities of data. This skill has proven extremely beneficial in my interaction with varsity reading material.

Xhosa
IsiXhosa is my home language, thus making me a native speaker who is well versed in both the formal and informal. Additionally, the primary ethnic language in my province at the time was, and still is, IsiXhosa.

French
I obtained a distinction during my first semester of French during varsity. I am multilingual and can therefore translate into one's home language when necessary. Using a familiar language of reference helps students to engage better with the subject matter.

I believe that I am the best candidate to tutor this subject as I have an impeccable primary and high school academic record regarding my English proficiency.
