Bio
I am a varsity student that thrives on understanding and establishing how other students best understand concepts. I am passionate about studies of the brain & mind, as well as how beautiful maths is.
I pride myself in my ability to connect with students and identify what they need help with. Giving others the opportunity to ask questions and gain understanding in their own time and style is something I prioritise. My experience in tutoring, au pairing and even my own school years has given me first-hand knowledge of managing school work, tests and how to adapt to your curriculum.
