Hi, I’m Kyra! I have completed a BSc in Zoology & Genetics, and I’m currently completing a PhD in Zoology. In my matric year, I achieved 3 distinctions, including 80% in Geography, 82% in Life Science, and 88% in Physical Science, alongside strong marks in English and Applied Maths. These achievements reflect my dedication to learning and my passion for science, which I bring into every tutoring session.

As a tutor, my aim is to bring out each student’s potential and instil a “can do” mindset. I love witnessing that “AHA” moment when a concept clicks, and I focus on assisting, supporting, and guiding learners to build both knowledge and self-belief. My approach is patient, encouraging, and tailored to each individual, ensuring that students feel confident and motivated as they progress.

Outside of tutoring, I am an avid reader and adventure traveller, enjoying everything from hiking to kayaking. I cherish quiet moments with a good cup of tea and my paint-by-numbers canvas, and I love being outdoors, grounded in nature—my husband and I especially enjoy camping. Quality time with friends and family is vital to me, and I am still trying to convince my husband to join me for dance lessons, which I’m passionate about. I consider myself a modern tree-hugger, committed to environmental change and fostering positive awareness in our lives.

Hi, I’m Yukta! I’m currently completing my final year of a Bachelor of Economic Science degree in Applied Mathematics. During my matric year, I achieved six distinctions, including 82% in English, 85% in Afrikaans, 81% in Mathematics, 85% in Accounting, 85% in Information Technology, and 82% in Life Orientation. These results reflect my strong academic foundation and my dedication to learning, which I bring into every tutoring session.

I have been tutoring for more than two years, and I truly enjoy helping learners grow in both confidence and understanding. As a tutor, I aim to be patient and supportive while remaining determined to find the best way to help each learner succeed. I believe that every student learns differently, so I focus on adapting my teaching approach to suit their individual needs and ensuring that they feel comfortable asking questions and working through challenges.

Alongside my studies, I have also faced significant personal challenges that strengthened my perseverance and determination. During my degree, I took two years off after being diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases. Despite this life-changing experience, I remained committed to my goals and returned to complete my final year. This journey has deepened my resilience and empathy, qualities that shape the way I support my learners. In my spare time, I adore reading and puzzle-solving, and I love spending quality time with my family.

Tutoring isn’t just about improving marks — it’s about helping students feel good about themselves.

In my spare time, I love to read — it’s how I unwind, learn new perspectives, and stay curious. I bring this same sense of curiosity and care into my teaching, always encouraging my students to ask questions, think critically, and enjoy the process of learning.
