I have taught Cambridge A Level History and England and South Africa's English and History curricula. I am also a published researcher, poet, and author. I enjoy cross-country running. I like NETFLIX mystery series. I regularly get out wilderness walking and cross country swimming. Since February 2025, I tutor English and Religious Studies for GoStudent. I battled with learning difficulties at school. However, I did very well after school, because I knew that English opens doors. So, I set goals. Then I achieved a B.A (1985) and a B. Ed (1996) degree, at Wits University in Johannesburg. I did a Ma...

I am a very competent, efficient and creative tutor with a passion for progress. My students’ success is seen as my own and I strive to ensure that they achieve their potential both inside and outside the classroom. I am very thorough in my teaching, which inevitably leads to positive results and creates a good learning atmosphere. As of right now I am an undergraduate at the University of Warwick studying Economics. At A-Level, I achieved 3 A*s in Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Economics. At GCSE level, I achieved 6 grade 9s, 3 grade 8s and a 7 (in French :/) A few of my 9s included Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English Literature. I have been tutoring for over 5 years and all feedback from students has been very positive, I'm known to never disappoint and always exceed the expectations of parents who employ me.
