Human Biology tutors in KwaZulu-Natal

I love human biology as it always fascinated me. I love learning about how the human body functions. I did a lot of physiology and anatomy in my undergraduate degree in Human Movement Science, which I successfully completed. I did Biology as a Matric IEB subject and loved it, that is why I am eager to help you!

I am currently working as a research lab technologist at HIV Pathogenesis Program registered under University of Kwa-Zulu Natal (Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine). I have Masters in Medical Science, a degree in BSc Biomedical Sciences and Honours degree in Medical Science (Biochemistry).

I am studying Medical Science, majoring in Physiology, at the university of KwaZulu Natal (Westville campus) , 1st year. My goal is to help students reach their greatest potential academically, especially students looking to pursue, or already pursuing a course in biology, (anatomy), and chemistry. I will endeavor to make the learning experience as interesting and exciting as possible, to help all students transform their goals into a reality and thus become successful individuals. The aim is not only to score excellent marks but also to appreciate and understand academics. It is critical to understand how to learn efficiently in order to put that knowledge into useful and beneficial practice in every avenue of life. I have also had experience in assisting children from underprivileged schools with their literacy and elementary maths skills. I look forward to teaching, and learning from all you amazing students.

I am a Grade R teacher at Kainon Pre Primary with a passion for education. I strive to help each child as an individual so that they can achieve to the best of their ability. I am constantly researching ideas in order to create a happy and comfortable learning environment to suit the needs of each child.

I have always been amazed at the human body and its contents and have always felt that a career in the medical field is ideally suited for me. Pharmacy, analyses infectious diseases, illnesses as well as sicknesses of the human body from the microbiological causation, to the pathological (including patho-morphologic, patho-histologic as well as patho-physiologic) changes, to the prognosis and diagnosis and thereafter encompasses the intervention via procedures such as medication administration, patient counseling and providing vaccinations for possible disease eradication. The beauty of pharmacy is such that it entails more to me since it involves also the art of microscopically viewing a piece of matter, before sending it for pre-formulation studies in a strive to manufacture a safe, effective and least toxic formulation dosage form design to get into the human body prior to viewing the drug pharmacokinetically and pharmacodynamically. Therefore, it really stimulates my interests as it creates an image in my mind of the journey needed to be undertaken by a drug before looking at what it actually does in the human body at a moleculer level. It also allows me to view drugs more closely in aspects such as excretion and elimination rate which are all crucial to pay attention to, especially in patient monitoring. I have many desires in the field of pharmacy which I hope to carry out in the future, one of them being to practice the profession of a clinical pharmacist/pharmacist assistant by first making use of the social, psychological as well as cognitive skills required by the health care professional and by thereafter bringing in all the other major tasks such as treatment and patient management as well as follow up. By doing this, there would be an aid in making my diagnosis due to an increase in patient compliance and therefore, the overall desired outcome would most probably be favoured, for the betterment of the patient’s health and well being. As the subject pharmaceutics is also a major unique component of the degree, I also have intentions of trying to possibly invent or make adjustments to dosage form designs for paediatric as well as geriatric patients, who I feel are sometimes not adequately payed attention to, in everyday pharmaceutical practice of today. I therefore intend to fulfill my most valuable goal and objective in life i.e. providing the best possible pharmaceutical care to the community around me along with a continuos strive for improvement for all.

I am a Medical Doctor but have changed careers into Education as this is my passion. I have lived and travelled to many parts of the world (to both work and experience life) - Australia, Canada, Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland and South Africa. Currently I am living in Durban with my wife and two young daughters. My outside hobbies include Aviation and History/Culture. I attended Durban High School and then the University of Natal Medical School, after which I passed and was accepted as a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Currently I am completing my Postgraduate Certificate in Education through UNISA and my TEFL (UK). My first language is English (IETLS band 8.5 through the University of Cambridge Testing System).
