Primary School
I am interested in being of assistance to any primary schools subjects to assist children with their homework and tasks and even if they are struggling with any subject as I want to be that assistance that I did not previously have that would have immensely helped in improving my grades but I had to do it alone and it was not easy. So, I want to ease the child of such problem and also help parents who are busy with other responsibilities and make their job as a parent easier and less stressful and be of great assistance that the child does well in their academics.

English Language and Literature
I am very passionate about English as a whole and its unique and interesting literature as English is an important language in the universe and one must have the skills and knowledge to atleast be able to understand what we read and be able to speak and write it. I join in on NPO's that are aimed at improving English in underprivileged schools and in communities that do have English teachers.
