Bio
I love challenges, and explaining very intricate systems in easy-to-grasp ways.
I listen carefully to the response, instead of looking for a correct answer alone. I am patient and prefer the Feynmann method of learning, where I get the students to explain in simple terms what they understand by a particular concept. In my previous job as a receptionist, I'd often have to watch and keep kids occupied while parents attended appointments. I have a knack for communication!

“His enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring Joshua consistently improves. In addition, Andrew’s communication outside lessons has been fantastic.”- Sean

“Hi Andy, you have done a good job. Having you talk to Daniel makes a big difference, then, Daniel trying to swot on his own. He takes in more with being face to face and discussing. Thank you for your help.”- Sarah
