Study Skills tutors in Cape Town

I am a young, energetic individual with a healthy attitude towards others. I have a great passion for gaining knowledge and understanding what I’ve learnt. I am determined and driven, with attention to detail. I live a balanced lifestyle, and enjoy spending time outdoors, and with family and friends. I was always driven to pursue a career in Psychology. In 2010, I started my professional journey within the field. I obtained my BA Humanities degree majoring in Psychology from the University of Stellenbosch in 2012 . During this period, I volunteered at rural daycare organisations, NGO's, and animal shelters. I also worked as a Doctor's assistant during holidays. In 2013, I received my Psychology Honours (with distinction) at Rhodes University. I was also a Psychology Tutor for students. I volunteered at the Fort England Mental Institution on a weekly basis to expose patients to the world outside of the institution. I also served as a voluntary psychology counsellor on the Phelophepa Healthcare Train where I counselled over 20 clients and delivered over 15 workshops for communities with scarce to no medical resources. From 2014-2015 I completed a Masters degree in health and well-being design; working with the youth to develop a mobile application focused on providing relevant health and well-being information for the youth (specifically focusing on emotional needs). I also completed the MAD4MAD (Mobile Application Design for Medical Application Development) Mini Intensive Course, and attended and presented at the ISD4D (Information System Development for Development) research conference in Mozambique. I facilitated multiple youth development workshops pertaining to health and well-being as part of different community service initiatives. I also attended and presented the 13th Participatory Design Conference in Namibia - volunteering in the informal housing communities. In 2015, I completed my Psychometrics internship through the University of Stellenbosch; and passed the HPCSA board examination. During this time I grew particularly fond of Hesketh treatment and rehabilitation center. I volunteered there on a weekly basis - administering, scoring, and providing feedback to patients that may assist in a successful career. Currently, I am a freelance Psychometrist (Independent Practice) and Life Skills lecturer/workshop facilitator. I administer psychometric assessments and give feedback to students at the University of Western Cape as part of a grade-improvement program to assist students in creating a bright future. I also deliver workshops on all Life Skills (such as 'Healthy communication and Conflict management', 'HIV/AIDS awareness', 'Presentation skills', etc.) and Office/Business Skills. Lastly, I administer the newest full personality and/or career assessments
