Over my 21-year teaching career, I've taught pupils online for the past 8 years. This online exposure has given me the ability to communicate literary concepts in a virtual setting.

My passion for teaching isn't just about the subject, but it's also about connecting with my students, understanding their strengths and areas of improvement. One thing I've always prioritized is building my students' confidence. I believe that once a student gains confidence in their abilities, it leads to academic growth. Through my years, I've learned that curriculum knowledge, passion, and confidence-building makes the difference in a student's academics.

Tutoring Approach

In my teaching, I rely on interactive methods. It's important that a lesson isn't just me speaking; it's a two-way dialogue where tutees actively participate, ask questions, and engage with the material. To ensure that we're always moving forward, I track the progress of each pupil. This isn't just about grades, but also about understanding concepts and improving study habits. Speaking of which, a key part of my tutoring approach focuses on developing study skills. It's not just about the "what" but also the "how." I work closely with my students to give them tools and strategies to approach their studies effectively.
