Hey there, future scientists and math whizzes! If you’re looking for a tutor who knows their way around a classroom as well as a pride of lions, you’ve found her. I’ve spent the last 14 years teaching Mathematics and Life Sciences, which means I can explain the Pythagorean theorem and the life cycle of a plant without breaking a sweat. But I’m not just about textbooks. I’ve worked as an ecologist and a field guide in the African bush, so I’ve literally tracked down answers in the wild. Whether we’re tackling Grade 12 Life Sciences or Grade 8 Math, I bring real-world "I’ve-seen-this-in-nature" energy to every lesson. I’m also a Grade 12 exam marker, so I know exactly what those sneaky examiners are looking for—and I’ll make sure you do, too. I’m patient, adaptable, and a "Cum Laude" graduate who actually makes learning fun. When I'm not tutoring, you'll find me running, scuba diving, or taking photos. Let’s turn those "I don’t get it" moments into "Aha!" moments together!
