Summary
I have been working in Education for the past 5 years in various roles.
I am currently studying psychology at the University of Cape Town and therefore am unable to continue with full-time class teaching.
My services include one-on-one tutoring, group tutoring and online tutoring. Having worked in an inclusive school, I am able to design and implement a personalised learning experience based on your child's learning style and individual needs.
