I am a master's student in computational neuroscience. I have an honours degree in physics, with physics and maths as my majors during my undergraduate studies.

Explaining things to people is one of my favorite activities. I don't mind how many times I need to explain something; if one explanation doesn't work, I try another. Figuring out how to help someone understand something is a bit like a fun math problem in itself.

I can teach any math that is in the South African school syllabus. I would also love to help you if you are from another country, so please chat with me and we can determine whether I have the knowledge to assist you. Read less

I start with easy examples and then increase the difficulty as fast as the student is comfortable with. Throughout this process, I keep a careful lookout for any foundational concepts that someone might be missing and try to fill in the gaps where I can. I ask a lot of questions, but I don't mind if students don't answer. I simply want to know what my students already know so that I don't waste their time by explaining things they are already aware of or don't have the background knowledge to comprehend. Read less
