Bio
I promote application and understanding in learning, am highly goal orientated and have unwavering perseverance as is evident by my PhD (Eng) and MSc (Chem).
I am good at listening and always make sure I understand the problem before providing advice. I explain complicated problems in the simplest manner possible and always want the student to be able to apply knowledge instead of memorise it.
