Classics tutors in Western Cape

I have an Honours degree in Ancient Cultures from Stellenbosch University. I wrote my dissertation on the Ancient Greeks and share a passion for Ancient History. I am familiar with the art history, philosophy as well as political history from the period and therefore believe I am an ideal tutor for any University students requiring any extra help on the subject.

I have been teaching Classics to university students for more than a decade, and have a broad base of knowledge, covering history, culture, literature and religion. Whether you are interested in the development of Athenian democracy, the history of science and philosophy, reading some of the oldest surviving novels (most of them ancient bodice rippers, involving pirates, mistaken identity, virgin sacrifice, kidnappings, and even a visit to the moon), or learning about the gods and heroes of the ancient world, I have experience teaching all of these and more.

My training in the classics is rather extensive considering I started reading the classical authors when I was 10 years old. Reaching the point where I could study this at university fueled my passion even more. I have a knack of making the technical and sometimes daunting words and thoughts come across easily for students.

I am a qualified SACE registered teacher with English Home Language and Life Orientation subject didactics.

I am a very driven individual and I constantly strive to improve my knowledge about myself, others and the world. I am currently studying my Honours degree in Psychology at UCT. I aspire to be a Clinical Psychologist, and have a passion for people.

I am currently doing my postgraduate studies at UCT to achieve my honours in Historical Studies. I completed my undergraduate degree with majors in Historical Studies and French Literature. I am an avid reader and I love to learn new and interesting things about the world that we live in, it is one of my greatest pleasures to pass this information on to others. I have a long history of working with young people, as a swimming teacher and a tutor in the past. I love engaging with young minds, and feel that I am an approachable and friendly person.
