Subjects taught

    I have been teaching for many years at High School level. I taught for a short while at college/university level. I have trained teachers to teach mathematics. I have taken part in curriculum development with in a number of projects. I am always consulted by parents to help their kids and they have paid me handsomely for my work. I have taken learners from as low as 30% rates to over 70%. My studies outside mathematics (economics and MBA) have given me a wide view of the way people see and use mathematics.
