Kerry M

I am a passionate and inspiring educator who easily connects and relates to people. I am able to help others through empathetic understanding that builds self-esteem and engenders interest.

I am emotionally intelligent and astute at simplfying content for learners while at the same time being able to define where the gap in understanding lies. Learners often "don't know what they don't know" - a good teacher is able to identify this for them and hence provide something concrete. A sensitive and highly empathetic approach also builds trust and motivation to learn and improve.
