Michaela K - Tutor in Lorraine
My name is Michaela and I ma a 22 year old female living in sunny South Africa. I have a passion for nature, animals and conservation owing to my time spent studying Zoology and Physiology. I also enjoy painting and drawing, reading a good book, spending time with my family and drinking lots of tea and coffee. I grew up speaking English as my home language (my mother is an English teacher) and offer tutoring for subjects such as Biology, English Literature, Mathematics to university students, high school students and my two younger sisters. My strength lies in Biology and Physiology. After many years in High School and University, I know that there is a wide variety of teaching styles out there. While I enjoy using a wide variety of methods to help people learn and understand anything they are struggling with, ultimately the methods need to include a gentle approach, a little bit of fun and focus on whatever works best for the student. Learning needs to be done in an encouraging environment with focus on a positive attitude. I hope I can help you with whatever you need as ensuring others achieve their goals gives me an immense sense of satisfaction and pride.
