About

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! 🫶🏽

Featured Feedback

The learner felt comfortable saying when they didn't understand which was a result of the tutor's comfortable session environment. This in turn allowed the tutor to be able to see when each learner was struggling and from this information, the tutor was able to explain concepts until the learner understood. The explanations were very successful, but could be further personalized to the learner's skill level.

The tutor is exceptionally well-versed in inferencing questions and provides very detailed and specific explanations to why certain answer choices are wrong or incorrect. For instance, the tutor repeatedly helps the learner understand that these questions require only information from the text and that you do not need to think creatively, a practice that she drives home through each practice question. The tutor also adds more general English tips at the very end of the session to address the learner's additional questions.
