WHAT MAKES HER AN AWESOME TUTOR

What makes me a great tutor is that I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where students can bring their questions and make mistakes while providing constant support and encouragement to build up confidence and excitement when it comes to learning! I also aim to create an engaging, interactive environment where we can work together to learn and solve problems.

FUN FACTS

Life Goal: To travel to as many countries to experience many different cultures!

Words to Live By: Fake it till you make it - for example, faking confidence until it's no longer fake but just true confidence

Favourite Mathematical Weapon: Drawing a little doodle to clear my brain. It helps my brain take a break so I can check my work or tackle the next problem with fresh eyes.
