Kimberly P - Tutor in Pretoria North
My name is Kimberly. I am currently a PhD candidate in science. I have been a student most of my life and with that, I have learnt a great deal of how to absorb and understand information. In my academic journey, I have had the privilege to tutor undergrad students and help them understand the work in the simplest way possible. People are different, therefore my tutoring methods for each individual is unique. My teaching experience has taught me to be patient, kind, understanding, motivate the student and make learning fun.
