I am a positive, kind, patient, person who is passionate about effective education and young people. My interests lie in Education, Literature, Linguistics, History, Sociology and life in general!
I am a patient, caring, educational support teacher. I use my experience and depth of theoretical knowledge to build learning confidence in students while tutoring in a way that focuses on the individual needs and gaps of each student so that they can eventually take off on their own. A Teach Me 2 Client mentioned that my work with her son helped him move from remedial to mainstream classes.
