Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    I have much experience in teaching primary school Math. I enjoy the subject and use examples from everyday life to make the subject as interesting as possible. I work on all areas of the Maths syllabus and all learners to do many exercises and to complete old exam papers. I ask the school teacher to give these to me.
