I believe all students can achieve their goals with the right support. I am a learner-centred tutor. This means I build on the student's strengths and fill in the gaps. I use a range of resources and a method to suit the learner.
I have been a high school teacher and currently teach at the Southern Institute of Technology. I have been tutoring privately since 2016. I specialise in literacy and numeracy for primary, secondary and tertiary students. I love helping students achieve.
