Bio

I am passionate about teaching and learning; highly empathetic, incredibly hard-working and dedicated to helping others excel. I believe in individualised learning and creative teaching practices.

As someone who thinks differently, and has experienced my own share of learning obstacles, I believe that I am well-positioned to help students who struggle with mainstream education. I believe that each person has their own way of accessing knowledge, and am dedicated to helping others find learning practices and methods that support their individual needs. I seek to learn from those I teach.
