Bio

I am passionate about sharing knowledge and educating children. My goal is to help them fulfil their potential and overcome any academic challenges that may be affecting their future goals.

I pride myself on my ability to empathise with people. This helps me to see and understand things from their perspective and devise suitable solutions for each learner, with them. During my studies in education, I have also picked up different teaching methods and can adapt my skills and knowledge to suit every learner. I believe there's no "one size fits all" approach to teaching.
