Bio

I am an energetic and patient tutor, who loves the subjects that I teach. I take my student's academic performance personally and seeing them improve is rewarding for me.

I work on making sure my students understand the fundamentals. I make it a point to build the student's self-confidence and I am hands-on even outside of tutoring times. I care about the difference I make with my students. My focus is on application, I will not spend hours explaining long concepts, but I will simplify all the relevant theory and have my student try examples almost immediately.

University Tutoring

Matlab

First Year - Third Year NCS6

I studied Octave in second year. But since third year we have been expected to use Matlab for various computations. As a result I’ve learnt to use Matlab for majority of calculation and computation cases. Especially in regards to automating calculator based and repetitive exam problems.

Reviews from others

I had a really tough time with characters, and she made the learning environment a safe space for me to share my feelings which gave me the encouragement I needed to improve. She is always pushing me and that makes me want to keep going. I am truly blessed to have her as my tutor.
