Bio
I am a hardworking, down to earth, friendly and patient person who loves teaching young learners and helping them to succeed. I am an optimist and believe failure only happens when you stop trying.
I am a patient, hardworking, caring person. I know how to engage learners and identify gaps in their learning. All learners are different so I use a student-centered approach with the ability to adjust my learning style to individuals. I have worked with many learners from various backgrounds and helped learners with limited learning abilities such as ADD, Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia.
