Leopold v - Tutor in Strand

I am passionate about teaching. In the six years of being and educator I have acquired the skills necessary to quickly adapt to a students level of understanding and then dissect difficult concepts to make them easier to grasp. I am kind and patient and love seeing students experience 'aha' moments. I am committed to doing what it takes to help a student realize their potential, to believe in themselves and to strive towards their goals. I believe that every student can learn, the trick is to figure out what works best for them and to nurture their growth. I am empathetic to each individual student as every student has a unique story. I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring Mathematics from grade 8 to 12, Mathematical literacy from grade 10 to 12 and Life Sciences from Grade 10 to 12.
