Hi, I’m Matthew! I’m currently completing a Bachelor of Business Science in Actuarial Science. In my matric year, I achieved 6 distinctions, including 84% in Afrikaans, 86% in Mathematics, 88% in Economics, 87% in IT, and 86% in Music. I’ve always had a strong passion for both analytical and creative subjects, which has shaped my approach to learning and tutoring.

As a tutor, I aim to help students discover different ways to learn by introducing alternative teaching styles and methods that suit their unique needs. My goal is not just to help students get the right answers but to give them a deeper understanding of the content, so they can apply what they’ve learned with confidence. I believe that when a student truly understands the “why” behind their work, learning becomes much more meaningful and enjoyable.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games, which helps me relax and stay sharp. I also play the trumpet and piano, which allow me to stay connected to my creative side. When I’m not making music or gaming, I like to expand my knowledge of the actuarial field by watching informative YouTube videos and staying up to date with new developments.
