Hi, I’m Thabisa! I am an enthusiastic and dedicated tutor with a strong foundation in Science and Mathematics. I’m currently completing my BEng in Chemical Engineering, a degree that has significantly enhanced my problem-solving and analytical skills. During my matric year, I achieved seven distinctions, including outstanding results across a diverse range of subjects: Accounting (100%), Zulu (97%), Physical Science (93%), Life Science (88%), and English (86%). I’ve been actively tutoring since 2023, sharing my successful academic strategies and subject knowledge to help students succeed.

As a tutor, my primary goal is to empower learners to reach their full potential. I focus on troubleshooting specific issues and ensuring students truly understand core concepts, rather than just memorising facts. I create an engaging and supportive environment where making mistakes is encouraged—I believe this is a crucial step in the learning process. By helping students actively engage with the work and learn from their errors, I aim to build their confidence, turning challenging subjects into enjoyable, manageable ones.

Outside of my studies and tutoring, I enjoy activities that keep me mentally sharp and physically fit. I love hiking, as it offers a great way to stay focused and mentally refreshed, and I enjoy playing netball. Netball has been invaluable in teaching me the importance of teamwork, communication, and discipline. Both hiking and netball have helped me develop key qualities like patience, resilience, and a strong work ethic, all of which I bring directly into my tutoring sessions to provide consistent and dedicated support to my students.
