Subjects

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Maths has always been my favourite subject. I'm currently taking AP maths and calculus at university. I've tutored high school students in maths on a voluntary basis and really enjoyed it, especially seeing students improve. I can break down concepts creatively which helps students to understand.

Geography

This was a subject I enjoyed. As someone studying geological sciences, I have completed modules which builds on high school geography. This has provided me with a greater understanding of the subject which is helpful when tutoring to students.

Physical science has always interested me. I am currently taking physics and chemistry modules in university. I believe that a solid foundational understanding of the topics is the key to success in this subject.

Study skills

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I did a study skills course in high school which helped me through school and my tertiary studies. I'm able to identify a student's learning style and teach them how to use that to their advantage. I focus on their concentration, memory skills and study methods for each topic.
