Bio

Understanding the school curriculum does not come naturally for everyone and there are several approaches to teaching. My goal is to adapt my teaching style to the specific needs of each student.

I am a passionate Zoologist (PhD) who enjoys helping others succeed in academic endeavors (schooling/university). I have great experience in tutoring Zoology based subjects (Science and Biology) to undergraduate students and I have also been a high school Maths tutor. As a compassionate, patient and friendly individual I believe I can help struggling students achieve their academic goals.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 9

I have always enjoyed mathematics and working with numbers. I believe that mathematical concepts help developmental skills through daily problem solving, as it involves critical thinking and decision making which are vital life skills to learn.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12

As a Zoologist, wildlife is my passion. Biology is important to everyday life and helps one understand living systems in relation to themselves and their surroundings. Another bonus is the ability to apply biology theories to real life scenarios.

Geography

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I love nature and so naturally, geography was one of my favourite subjects at school. Geography helps one understand basic physical systems and teaches students essential knowledge about the world and everyday life.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 12

History is the study of change and is crucial to understanding how the past has shaped our lives today. History is also an essential tool in understanding different cultures and how cultures across the world could be affecting our own.

CAT

Grade 1 - Grade 12

CAT is an imperative component of tertiary education. This subject aims to develop practical skills which prepare you for life in the technological world. Skills obtained through CAT allow people to be more effective in all aspects of life.
