Bio
Since finishing high school, I have had the opportunity to tutor a lot of students at all levels! I aim to make a non-judgemental space where we can work together to improve your understanding!
I started tutoring my friends in Grade 12, and this sparked a real joy for teaching. Since then, I have been an AuPair and tutored secondary school kids as well as tutoring independently for high school and university students. Many of my students say they appreciate how I approach my tutor sessions. There is a way of explaining any topic to anyone!
