Bio

I am an energetic BA student who loves to learn and loves to talk. So we'll have great conversations - while my organisational and teaching skills ensure that you get where you want to be!

I am a good listener and empath, which helps me determine what a student already understands, and what they need from me. I care about sharing knowledge that could help others. I am good at expressing myself and explaining concepts. I am energetic and enthusiastic and can motivate others. I am patient and will keep trying different approaches until we get there.

Drama

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I did well in both the practical and theoretical components of drama at school. Since then, I have coached a high school drama student for numerous practical assessments and gained academic writing experience through my Bachelor of Arts. Thus, I can help with drama practicals, tests and essays.
