Bio
I am a professional teacher who is passionate about making the word a better place. I have endless patience and care for my learners.
It all starts with listening and caring. I have naturally been drawn to the fields of NGO volunteering/ organisation and education in one form or another. These experiences taught me invaluable skills such as empathy, enabling dignity and pride, collaboration, and skills building.
