Bio

I am a highly motivated and passionate third year law student. In my free time I enjoy playing with my nephews, going on long walks and reading all types of books.

I am a very patient person. I am a good listener, especially when someone is struggling to understand certain concepts, and adapt my teaching style accordingly. I have a variety of study methods to teach to students if they are struggling with retaining information. I am a motivating person and always encourage people to do their best and to improve their confidence in their own abilities.

Education

• I finished my matric at Durbanville High School, with four distinctions.
• I am currently in my third year of University, studying LLB.

My Proudest
Achievements

• I achieved four distinctions in matric.
• I was accepted for LLB, BSc Psychology and Biology, and B Social Work at Stellenbosch University, which was the only University I applied at.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 10 NSC, CAPS, IEB

I am deeply passionate about biology, and I am eager to share this enthusiasm with other students. My love for the subject is particularly strong in the area of anatomy, where I have developed a solid and comprehensive understanding.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC (Home Language), IEB

My home language is Afrikaans and I enjoy staying close to my heritage. I enjoy literature and have experience with the language section. I have also taught many English learners to transition from fully English in primary school to having Afrikaans as well.

Geography

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC, CAPS, IEB

I obtained a distinction in Geography in matric and achieved 90% + for all my assignments. I know how to research and reference and how to teach the long question material to others, as this was my study method.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC, CAPS, IEB

English is my second language, but I’ve developed fluency through reading, writing, and creative projects. I love helping learners explore literature and express themselves—especially through oral presentations and visual storytelling tools like PowerPoint.

Social Science

Grade 1 - Grade 9 NSC, CAPS

Fascinated by the past and the world, I aim to make History and Geography engaging, guiding learners to grasp concepts confidently while sparking their own curiosity.

Natural Science

Grade 1 - Grade 9 NSC

I have a strong passion for Natural Sciences and Biology, which was reflected in the distinctions I earned at school. I love breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable ideas, and I enjoy helping others develop the same appreciation and confidence in the subject.

Life Orientation

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC, CAPS

Although Life Orientation can feel repetitive, it offers a great opportunity to achieve excellent marks. I focus on making the subject fun, relatable, and easy to understand, allowing learners to stay motivated and perform with confidence.

  • Language Tutoring

Afrikaans

Beginner - Advanced

Afrikaans is my Home Language. In a world where English has become the Universal language, I feel it is important to stay connected to your roots, or create new roots by learning a new language.

English

Beginner - Advanced

Although English is my second language, I have developed a high level of fluency through years of academic and practical use. I understand the challenges learners face and use clear strategies to build confidence, comprehension, and strong communication skills.
