I have a science background so I have a good knowledge of maths and well and science. I can work with under privileged children/ children with special needs and have a lot of patience. I'm a mother of 2 teen boys and have a good understanding of the curriculum.

Experience
1998 - 2020
Dietician/ teacher

At the moment I see homecare pasients who need tube feeds. I do however have a love for teaching and enjoyed working with my boys as they were growing up. I find that I can explain concepts that can be difficult to understand, especially for the younger child.

Education
1994-01-01 - 1997-12-31
B Dietetics - UP

The degree covered a lot of Maths and Science (chemistry and biochemistry as well as Physics). We had Biology for 4 years including Human Physiology. We also did statistics, research and psychology for 3 years. The degree covered a very wide spectrum of subjects over the course of 4 years.

Subjects taught
  • General Maths & Science

    I believe any child can do maths or science! I believe it should be fun, especially at primary school level with lots of pictures and different colours. Creativity should be part of the learning process. I have a lot of patience I will explain as many times as it takes!
