Bio
What if there were simple ways of going around 'hard' topics? With a knack for teaching and incredible patience, I empower learners with the knowledge and learning tools they need to solve problems.
I am patient and very humble- as a result, I treat learners as equals, using a calm tone and gentle language- I encourage them to solve their own learning problems with confidence. I am also very observant and attentive- quick to see if learners lack understanding and act accordingly- engaging with them using simple illustrations, examples and focused exercises that train them to solve problems.
