I am a friendly, Intermediate Phase Education student and I am currently working towards completing my degree in a few years. In Matric I received two distinctions in History and Visual Arts and thereafter completed a 3-year course in discipleship school. I have had experience in tutoring Life Sciences and Maths, as well as Au Pairing. Some of my greatest achievements so far include having illustrated a children’s book, having lead an outreach project in some local schools, and having met all my academic goals for my BEd studies. In my free time, I love to be creative through painting and writing songs.

I am an artist and educator. I adopted the nickname “Jeffrey” when I was in a metal band in high school, which is where I discovered my passion for sharing information and understanding with others. This is also where I gained my first experience as a tutor in my boarding house. I am now currently studying toward a PGCE qualification as I believe that I can offer a lot to the next generation both in the classroom, and as a tutor. I’ve also been certified by SACE, discovered I’m as good as I think I am when it comes to football coaching and improved the marks of all my tutees. n my free time, I enjoy Art (visual, theatrical, cinematographic), hiking, politics and philosophy.

The experience I have acquired has allowed me the opportunity to develop a variety of skills that make me a well-rounded educator. These skills include; being a confident leader, direct and clear communicator, patient listener, classroom management, lesson plan construction, encouragement and a quick learner. I believe that my passion keeps me motivated and enthusiastic as a tutor which inspires a productive atmosphere for my students. I strive to give my students the freedom to develop their individualism and admire opinionated students who can explore and voice their ideas. Some of my other interests include drawing, painting and yoga.

I have always loved working with children, even before I had completed my studies in BSc Sport Science and a Postgraduate degree in BSc Kinderkinetics at University. I have also worked as an au-pair for 5 years which included academic tutoring and academic support, in addition to my extensive experience as a tutor mainly for children in grades 0 – 9. I have worked with babies, toddlers, primary school children as well as children with special needs in therapy and coaching environments. I love creating fun and safe spaces where I can teach new skills and inspire children to become confident and enjoy academics. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, camping and being at the ocean.
