Bio

I am an investment professional with an M.Sc degree who enjoys inspiring learning minds. Having fun is important too!

I am a natural teacher. My students often comment that I help them master seemingly insurmountable concepts by describing the underlying components in a simple way and then effectively pulling it all together. I am passionate about helping learners gain break-throughs in their understanding, which means I will patiently encourage them until they succeed.
