About

As an Engineering Student, I naturally have a curious mind and am always looking for new challenges to learn from. I grasp new concepts quickly and efficiently; my ability to problem solve and think on my feet provides me with the confidence and drive to take on any challenge. I am a strong communicator, which is supported by my time spent teaching, mentoring, and tutoring within virtual and in-person environments. My collaboration and leadership skills support my willingness to learn and involve myself, making me a passionate member of any team. All in all, I aspire to learn, develop, and work alongside like-minded individuals who wish to better the world.

I am adamant about helping others, and by creating my own business, I aim to support each and every student that needs help. I work individually with each student and learn their personal strategies and learning techniques in order to provide an interactive and helpful environment. I am comfortable teaching virtually through a range of platforms, as well as teaching in an in-person situation: whatever works best for my student.
