Hi, I’m Stephen! I have completed a Bachelor of Technology in Industrial Mathematics and have extensive experience in the field. I have worked with various organizations as a programmer and training officer, gaining valuable technical expertise. Later, I decided to combine my Mathematics qualification with my passion for teaching and transitioned into a full-time teaching and lecturing career, which I have pursued for over 22 years. In addition to my background in Mathematics, I have also studied Agricultural Science, where I completed practicals in my first year. This has given me a well-rounded perspective on both analytical and applied sciences.

As a tutor, I believe that educators play a vital role in shaping the future of students. Education is the foundation of society, and my aim is to equip learners with the knowledge and confidence they need to succeed.

In my spare time, I am passionate about helping orphans and underprivileged individuals. Giving back to the community is something I deeply value, and I strive to bring that same level of care and dedication into my tutoring. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged and empowered to reach their full potential.

I’m Anya! A Masters of Science graduate who achieved distinctions in all my subjects in Matric, some of these included receiving 81% in Maths, 86% in English, 91% in Physical Science, 82% in CAT and 82% in Life Science. I have a really big passion for both science and teaching and have accumulated years of experience tutoring at undergraduate level in major subjects such as Chemistry, Maths and Science.

There is nothing more important to me than seeing a learners confidence, as well as their marks, grow as we fill in the gaps in their knowledge.

Besides my love for tutoring, I have often been described as bubbly, excitable and friendly and enjoy exercising and knitting in my spare time.

I graduated with a BSc. Chemical Engineering from the University of Cape Town (UCT), where I was inducted into the Golden Key International Honour Society for my academic performance. Following this, I graduated with an MSc. Chemical Engineering from UCT, which was awarded a distinction. I’m currently studying for an MBA, part-time and online, through Milpark Education. I have experience as a formal tutor and teaching assistant of 1st and 2nd-year Chemical Engineering Under Graduate students, gained whilst undertaking my MSc. degree at UCT, and very much enjoy working with students since each one has a unique approach to challenges which I find enrich my own capacity as a tutor and academic in general.
