Qualifications

• Currently studying for a degree in Biology
• Lead Science Specialist at Catalyst Maths and Science
• Two years of mentorship under Dion, an experienced science tutor

How I teach

I start by building a good rapport with my students. I want lessons to feel supportive, so students are comfortable asking questions, even ones they think are simple. I encourage them to keep asking until a concept makes sense.

I focus on real understanding of concepts rather than memorisation. I want students to know the principles behind an answer, not only the answer itself. In each lesson I work on the student's weaker areas and also build on what they already do well. As their understanding grows, so does their confidence.

Subjects and levels

I teach Primary Math and Science (Primary 4 to 6), and Secondary Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Sec 1 to Sec 4).
