Hi, I’m Maritsa! I have completed a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding people and supporting their growth—both academically and emotionally. In my matric year, I achieved 2 distinctions: 85% in German and 80% in Mathematics and a close 75% in Afrikaans Home Language. I am bilingual in Afrikaans and English, which allows me to connect with and support a wide range of students more effectively.

With over 10 years of tutoring experience, I’ve enjoyed guiding learners through their academic journeys with patience and encouragement. As a tutor and Study Skills facilitator, I see my role as more than just teaching—I aim to guide students by offering structure, direction, confidence, and support. I believe in empowering learners by helping them understand their own strengths and developing a learning path that works for them. For me, tutoring is a form of coaching: I walk alongside my students, providing a calm and encouraging presence as they build their knowledge and self-assurance.

In my spare time, I love traveling, especially to Europe and the United States, where I can immerse myself in new cultures and experiences. I’m passionate about helping others and often offer free counselling services to those in need. I also enjoy reading, watching movies and series, and listening to music—these hobbies help me recharge and bring a sense of balance to my life.
