Bio
I enjoy getting up early to seize the day. I am a good listener allowing me to easily pick up where pupils need help. I am well disciplined but enjoy making my lessons fun and interactive.
I have been tutoring for 2 years and I have really enjoyed the process of getting a know a student and figuring out a method of teaching that will best suit their needs. I am quick to adapt to any situation and know where my limits are. I also have a very intuitive nature which has helped me to read and understand people around me and know when they need help.
