My name is Aneesa. I have been a student at the University of the Witwatersrand for the last 10 years, pursuing degrees in Chemistry. I have my BSc (2016-2018), Hons (2019), and Masters (2020 - 2022) degrees in chemistry. I have spent the last three years conducting chemistry lab research towards a doctoral degree in chemistry, but have decided to take a break from my studies. I would like to keep in touch with chemistry and feel like tutoring is an excellent way to do that.

While completing my postgraduate degrees, I was assigned both tutoring and demonstrating students, thus I have 5+ years of experience. I was also part of ChemSoc, an affordable tutoring program that PG students ran in the school of chemistry for undergraduate students, specifically first year students.

I have always loved chemistry since I first started working with it in school. I find it fascinating and enjoy helping others understand it and improve their grades, whether to pass or achieve a high grade, based on their goals. I am patient and dedicated. I do not expect you to know everything during the lesson. If you make a mistake, I will correct you. If you do not know, I will explain or teach it to you.

I prefer students to send me questions in advance that they would like to tackle during the lesson. However, if they are uncertain, I can provide questions from my side that we can work on or we can simply have an overview lesson where I break down the topic and concepts. I like to use a whiteboard, chalkboard, or paper while solving problems with the student. We can do mock tests, work on past papers, or practice many examples.

I recommend one lesson a week to help the student stay on top of their work and not fall behind. If a student would like more than one lesson a week, that is fine with me. I am available Monday through Sunday. I have an open calendar this year and would love to have lessons at a time that is most convenient for you. Please give me a chance if you need help with chemistry! Read less

I am a firm believer that practice makes perfect - I like to tackle many questions. If I teach a concept, I then have the student try a similar example to gauge their understanding and re-explain if necessary. I love to point out common mistakes that students make so that they are aware of them and don't make those mistakes in tests and exams. I like to tackle past papers and revise related concepts as we look at questions to maximize understanding and the approach to the question. Written approach. Read less
