Bio

I am a qualified Biologist who believes in academic excellence, kindness, and making life easy for students. Learning can be daunting, but with a patient tutor (me), the experience could be fun.

I was a demonstrator and tutor at University. This experience required me to be selfless. This means I would create extra classes for battling students. When the students were taught with patience, they excelled in their studies. I am an advocate of teaching with passion and kindness, which are essential elements of students' academic success.
