Mercia D - Tutor in Meerhof
Greetings to all! My name is Mercia, I am a 28 year old Special Needs Teacher. From a very young age I have dreamt of always helping people in such a way that I could see that I made a difference in their lives no matter how big or small. I have been brought up to believe that you can achieve anything as long as you work hard for it and stay committed. Teaching is about self- discovery. I want to be part of an individual’s journey, a sort of stepping stone. I would like to be able to encourage life-long learning and critical thinking amongst learners of all ages. I am eager to meet new people and help where I can!
