Bio
I am hardworking and determined and always give 110% to whatever I do. I am passionate about education and helping students develop the skills required to achieve their full potential.
I am a very patient person and will go the extra mile to help students learn concepts in a way that they understand. As a trained educational therapist, I am a huge believer in individualised learning. With experience as a student, a tutor for young children to university students, and an educator, I am well-equipped to help students with a wide-range of subjects to be successful in their studies.
