Summary

A compassionate and experienced educator, striving to create an engaging yet structured classroom environment. I aim to create a positive learning environment where learners feel safe, supported and respected.

I also strive to help learners reach their full potential and develop skills they need to be successful in life. I hold a BSc honors degree in Microbiology, BSc degree in Zoology and Microbiology, which are all under the field of Life Sciences.
