History was always one of my favourite subjects, and although it was quite a Western syllabus during my time at school, I am very interested in African history as well and will be able to adapt my knowledge according to the student's needs.

History was another subject I enjoyed at school. Many find history difficult because it can be boring and I think my energy, passion and notes would be helpful for students who struggle with History.
