Bio
Highly qualified physical science educator with 7 years of experience and a passion for educating young minds about science so that they can peruse their dreams.
My ability to identify problems they may have in the subject and address it before it creates a barrier in their learning. Since I’ve been teaching professionally for almost 6 years I’ve come to understand what are the most common challenges learners face in subjects such as mathematics and physical science hence I create lessons that address these problems first.
