Actuarial science student with tutoring experience and strong analytical skills.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am an actuarial science student with hands-on experience in insurance analytics and a strong record of tutoring and leadership. I combine quantitative training with clear communication to explain complex concepts and support student learning.
During an actuarial internship at Cigna Life Insurance New Zealand I gathered data, analysed risk, built mathematical models, and prepared reports to predict the probability of future events. I also collaborated with actuarial teams and contributed to practical risk assessments.
I have substantial tutoring experience at secondary and university levels, creating lesson plans, delivering tutorials, marking assessments, and facilitating study groups across mathematics, economics, biology, geography, business studies, and technology. I prioritise student-led learning and maintain availability for consultations.
I have been recognised with scholarships and awards including the CIGNA Actuarial Science Scholarship and the Wellington Tongarewa Scholarship, and I bring organisation, leadership, and a motivated, positive attitude to every role.
