Hello! I'm a 12th grader in South Africa (GMT+2) here for SAT prep, Higher Maths help, and AP CSA & P. As a tutor, I'm passionate about literature and sharing tips I used to score 770 on the SAT's R&W section. 🔹I love Jesus! (1 John 1) ✝️ 🔹My mum can't understand why I'm obsessed with blue. 💙 🔹I write fiction in my free time. ✍🏽 🔹I'm (my family's) master baker—though I'm yet to conquer meringue! 🧁 🔹I love music, especially EDM, jazz, R&B and classical! I play piano too. 🎹 🔹I like memory games, though nothing too hard! 🧠 🔹I'm a die-hard baseball fan! ⚾ 🔹My favourite movies are Into the Spiderverse and Annie! 🕷️ 🔹My favourite books are Around the World in 80 Days, David Copperfield, the Trumpeter Swan—historical, mystery, & old children's fiction. 🔍 🔹I work part-time (think free time & holidays) as a graphic designer. 🖼️ 🔹I love maths when it makes sense. 😵‍💫 🔹Software engineering and robotics are my favourite all-time subjects—I love it when everything just clicks—and I'm going to study that in university. 👩🏽‍💻 🔹Schoolhouse made me realise how passionate I am about tutoring and helping others find success! 🫶🏽
