Bio
I'm an unashamed bookworm, diehard cat lover, and obsessive baker. I'm a final-year student at UCT and a friendly an understanding tutor - I promise we'll have fun!
I'm very patient and encouraging - I find ways of turning faults into strengths. As a perfectionist, I do tasks thoroughly and am a perceptive judge of character. I believe all these qualities characterise a great tutor: one who understands her students' weaknesses, and works with gentle persistence to build on their strengths.
