Mathematics
Too often, Maths is taught as an abstract concept, with tons of rules and methods that you need to learn. That stops here! The key to success in Mathematics is recognising its real life application. Understanding that Mathematics is all about life, is the first step in understanding Mathematics.
Megan teaches Mathematics at Primary School level(s)

Science
Science is all about asking the right questions and knowing how to find the answers. All you need is a curious mind and a hunger for knowledge, and you too can be a scientist! I believe in an investigatory approach to science learning, which is both fun and enriching!
