Hi! I'm Amy, a 25-year-old Zoologist/Microbiologist currently working towards achieving my Master's degree. I spend my mornings doing research, my nights crawling into bat caves for that research, and my afternoons sharing my passion for the sciences with my students. I believe that science should be exciting, accessible, and applicable to real life, and these are the things I aim to emphasise in my teaching. In my free time, I love being outdoors, so you can find me cataloguing species (everything from birds to scorpions), paddling, hiking, or building campfires and cooking everything from kebabs to cookies over them. At school, I studied A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I then qualified as a Game Ranger before I started university and spent my undergraduate years studying as widely as I could - covering everything from French to Economics to Botany and everything in between. I graduated with a double distinction in Zoology and Microbiology and continued to achieve my Honours degree in African Vertebrate Biodiversity. I took a year off to work in implementation support for a travel and tourism company and then took the opportunity to work on Hornbills in the Kalahari Desert before beginning my Master's degree. What makes me a good tutor? I have a fair amount of experience in transferring knowledge, having tutored grade 8-12 Biology, Chemistry, Physics, PhysChem and Life Sciences for 6 years, as well as undergraduate courses at Rhodes University in Biology (1st-year students) and Zoology (1st, 2nd and 3rd-year students) for 2 years. Experience with numerous students over the years has taught me various methods of information delivery, and has allowed me to be well-versed in figuring out which learning methods individual students respond to the best. In addition, I myself spent my school years balancing my own studies with part-time work, competitive sport and volunteer work, which has allowed me to develop good time-management skills and time-effective study techniques which should be a fundamental part of the Secondary Education System. I try to include these methods with teaching subject material to provide lifelong skills and study techniques which are transferable to other subjects.
