I am a registered and qualified teacher with a BSc background, experienced in pedagogy and subject content. I know learning online via video calls can be a formless and intimidating experience, so I design my lessons around the curriculum outcomes and create a welcoming environment.

“About a month ago, my daughter Lea was not proactively attending the classes and was resisting stating that she didnt see any value. This feedback was raised to Tiffany to address and find alternatives to get a higher engagement from Lea. Since then, Lea has been willingly attending amd has changed her view and is positively attending each class on time. ”- Kiran
