Education
I am currently in my last phase as a PhD candidate (PhD.rer.nat.) at the Technical University of Munich. My research focus is on risk assessments of the impacts of land use activities on water resources and ecosystem services. I completed a MSc in Conservation Ecology at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa in 2011 and a BSc in Food Science with Chemistry at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa in 2006
Experience
- 4 years private tutoring experience in Munich (mostly IB Biology, Maths and Chemistry) - 3 months Science, Biology, Maths tutor at Somerset West Private School, 95 Andries Pretorius St, Cape Town, South Africa, 2009 -1 year Science teacher at Centro Educativo - GEA, Huacas, Santa Cruz, Guanacaste, Costa Rica (also taught in Spanish), 2012 - 100 hour TEFL online course - Food Technologist 2008 - 2009 - Field Assistant Leatherback Trust, Costa Rica, one sea turtle nesting season 2011 - Fluent in Afrikaans, English, Spanish, German level C1 (very high) I have seen students excel with new motivation after tutoring. I try to not only emphasize the importance of science and maths related subjects, but also give a window of opportunity for students to see how enjoyable these subjects can be. Many students only see the now and impossible, but once they have a feel of related exciting careers they generally change their opinion of such subjects. As I am a native English speaker I can assist with English reading and writing. My first time abroad was as a Rotary Youth Exchange student to the United States. As a 17 year old living abroad for one year was a great challenge, but highly rewarding Currently, I am a DAAD scholarship holder for students from southern Africa. I furthermore, obtained golden key status when upon completion of my MSc at the Stellenbosch University, South Africa In Munich I have tutored Biology, Maths, Chemistry and Earth Science. Gaining much experience tutoring IB Biology HL, I have recognized that the syllabus for this subject is incredibly hard and even more so difficult for students who are not native English. Due to a great volume of work I recommend year round tutoring for IB Biology HL.
