Emily D - Tutor in Kenridge Heights

I love learning and I have always done well in Maths and the sciences but I am fortunate to also love reading, watching movies, the outdoors, playing piano and having a good time with my friends. I got 93% for Maths and 96% for Physics in matric. Even though I find Maths and the sciences relatively easy, I took extra physics lessons in grade 11 and 12 so I think I have a good understanding of where learners struggle. Also, I matriculated in 2018, have done some Maths tutoring already and with a brother in matric I know the syllabi well. My mom is a teacher and she often says you may be brilliant at a subject but that doesn’t mean you can teach it, which I think is very true. I think my interest in psychology and people and my love of Maths and physics will help me be a good tutor.
