Subjects taught

General Maths & Science
I love numbers, patterns, coming up with science experiments, and have always enjoyed playing number games and math puzzles while growing up. I will try my hardest to make the material easily understandable and to help my students discover their own love for the subjects. I also have previous experience in teaching Math and Science to a younger age group.

English Language and Literature
I am a book-worm through and through, with a love and admiration for the Classics, such as Shakespeare, Austen, etc. This love extends to poetry, plays and the technical aspects of the language, i.e. grammar and syntax, as well as the critical analysis of literature. I am also able to help with written assignments as well as the verbal aspects of the subject, such as speeches, vocabulary, pronunciation and elocution.
