Bio

I have a Diploma in education, BA in History and a Master's in Government. With over 30 years teaching and tutoring experience, I develop individual plans for each student's specific needs.

There is a thrill that comes with seeing others succeed and achieve their full potential. I put myself in the place of the person I am helping, and always treat them the way in which I would like to be treated. I make sure that nothing I do is about me, but rather I focus on the needs of the person I am helping.
