Bio

I'm a TEFL-certified, native English speaker from Durban who is passionate about cultivating academic potential. I am a lifelong learner who thrives on the challenges posed by new academic material.

As the eldest of 3 siblings, I've spent many an hour assisting with homework and exam prep which helped me develop a patient teaching disposition, a trait I believe is essential when teaching new concepts to stressed and overwhelmed students. I focus on interactive classroom exercises that engage students in active learning, providing ample opportunity for practice, and personalized feedback.
