Fatima D - Tutor in Killarney
I am currently a final year student at the University of Pretoria, studying towards my undergrad in Psychology and Education. I have two years under my belt, and with a special focus on child psychology, I feel that this background allows me to better understand children and the importance of creating a nurturing and positive learning environment. I was a consistent top achiever throughout school and have always had an inclination towards teaching. I am a patient, confident and self-motivated person who gladly accepts challenges.
