Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    I have a Bachelor's degree in Science and I was exposed to Mathematics up until varsity level. I have also tutored high and varsity learners, so I believe I can add value to student's academics. I am very passionate about science and logical thinking and I believe every student should be given the opportunity to excel in their academics. I also understand that there are students who are not mathematically gifted and might want to just pass the subject. During my tutoring sessions, I make sure that I test the learners as much as I can because they learn while being tested. I also believe in practical and real life problem solving skills.
