Bio
I am a highly motivated and passionate law student. In my free time I enjoy playing with my nephew, going on long walks and reading all types of books.
I am a very patient person. I am a good listener, especially when someone is struggling to understand certain concepts, and adapt my teaching style accordingly. I have a variety of study methods to teach to students if they are struggling with retaining information. I am a motivating person and always encourage people to do their best and to improve their confidence in their own abilities.

She is the best tutor I have ever met, and she is more than a tutor. She is also a good adviser. She has helped me to believe in myself. She is simply the best and so mature!!!!!!

Her approach with Mikaeel has really made a huge impact and difference in his attitude towards Afrikaans. Where he first thought this is a subject he can't master he now feels confident enough to know that he can. And he's committed to putting in the hard work.
