Hi, I’m Ntsako! I am currently completing a Bachelor of Business Science, specialising in Computer Science. I completed the IEB curriculum in Matric, where I achieved strong marks across all my subjects, particularly excelling in Afrikaans, German, Mathematics and IT (Java). My academic background has given me a solid foundation in both analytical thinking and problem-solving, which I bring into my tutoring approach.

I have been tutoring since 2023, working with students to build confidence and improve their understanding of key concepts. As a tutor, I believe my role is to expand where a teacher cannot and to tailor work specifically for each student, enabling them to fully engage with and understand the material. I focus on adapting my teaching style to suit individual learning needs, ensuring that each student feels supported and capable of achieving their goals.

In my spare time, I enjoy a variety of interests including debate, Mathematics, coding, knitting, travelling, volleyball and tennis. These activities keep me curious, disciplined and well-rounded, qualities that I incorporate into my tutoring. I aim to create a positive and engaging learning environment where students feel motivated to learn and grow.
