Caitlin C - Tutor in Crystal Park
I have been in education for over 8 years, with experience in higher education, CAPS, Cambridge and IEB Curricula through professional teaching, remedial and advanced tutoring and support for home-school students. I am a multi-linguist and an artist and I have a passion for learning and engaging with new information and, by extension, a passion for sharing that knowledge with others. I believe that passion is an incredibly important, though often overlooked, aspect of the learning process and I strive to help my students connect with the material in ways that inspire them to learn independently and actively. As an individual I enjoy reading, sports, theatre and playing board games.
