Bio
I am from a family of 5 siblings so younger kids are an aspect I am very comfortable with. I have tutored students before during high school. I am easily accessible as I have my own car.
I led in many aspects of my high school including being the first team rugby captain and deputy head of house. I learned my tutors' values during high school through their commitment and energy. I want to reciprocate that to my students to give them a safe learning environment and ask questions. I take my students' advice into the highest consideration, making their experiences unique.
