Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    Over the years I have grown to love mathematics, up to the point where I have made it my field of study at university. I did, however, struggle with the subject at a stage but now, looking back, have realised that was because of the way how I was introduced to it. This is why I want to help others who might see math as a daunting subject to learn how to appreciate how simple it can actually be.
