Private tutor in Tokyo, Japan

Education

I was a tutor during the entire time I was studying for my undergraduate degree. I have tutored students ranging from those in elementary school to those studying at universities. My native language is English. I strongly believe students should be taught a solid base of relevant knowledge before tackling problems. In this way, they will first try to understand the problem rather than just attempting to solve it and hope that it is correct. I worked as an after-school mathematics instructor for children between the ages of eleven to sixteen. I was also the head tutor of a robotics school program, called Club Electron. On top of that, I also worked as a teaching assistant and mentor for my undergraduate electrical engineering department. One of the aspects I enjoy most about tutoring is being able to see your student improve and develop. Teaching is truly a rewarding passion.

Experience

I studied for my undergraduate degree in mechatronics, at the University of Cape Town. After that, I pursued my Master of Robotics at the top Danish Engineering University, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet. And I am presently a research student at The University of Tokyo in the area of machine learning for Furukawa Electric Co.

Hobbies

I would say my biggest hobby is reading. I tend to enjoy non-fiction with the occasional fantasy series to get yourself lost in another world. Otherwise I enjoy hiking, drawing, surfing, building fun robotics. Favorite books: 1984, George Orwell. Guns Germs and Steel, Jared Diamond. Mirror of the gods, Malcolm Bull. Favorite Areas in Japan: Kamikochi for hiking. Kamakura for surfing. Absolutely loved Kyoto for obvious reasons. Would love to visit Okinawa and Izu Islands this spring! I am a passionate person who truly enjoys what he studies. Once I finish with my Masters I would like to return to Todai for my PhD.
