Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    I am obsessed with mathematics and its applications. During my university studies I obtained two distinctions for my third year mathematics courses, namely abstract mathematics and applied mathematics, and also placed third in the 2019 South African Mathematical Modelling Competition. I love finding inventive ways to describe and understand the rigorous underlying theory in a way that makes it intuitive and attractive - even to those who can't stand the thought of studying it. Mathematics is an important subject that everybody should be able to enjoy. I work together with students to design an effective study plan not based on pre-existing and outdated methods. With the right guidance and a bit of patience and determination, you will be surprised at how well you can do in the subject.
