Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    I did not find mathematics naturally easy in school, so I developed simply strategies to teach myself to understand maths. In University, I did very well in mathematics (80 percent). I truly believe that everyone CAN do maths -- coming from someone who is not naturally talented but has achieved high grades. I want to help students who are struggling to build their confidence and achieve by developing personalized teaching plans for each student tailored to their process of learning.
