Bio

I am an Actuarial Science Honours Student with a passion for teaching. I'm an enthusiastic lifelong learner who constantly strives to add value to the lives of those around me.

I pride myself on my ability to put myself in the shoes of each individual, and I believe that this is essential in helping students achieve their goals. I strive to empower students to use their own tools of learning to the best potential, rather than imposing my own thoughts and ideologies. I aim to create a positive learning environment where each student thoroughly enjoys what they are doing.
