Hey everyone! You've stopped at the right place. I am a biotechnologist who got their masters from the UK. I am so passionate about teaching that I was a student ambassador there. My strength is that I can break down very complex topics into simple examples.
A lot of teachers just repeat what they see which makes it hard for students to understand. However, I believe that if a student doesn't understand it is I who did not explain it well as I am the expert. If you need any help in the sciences, mathematics and even English and Kiswahili just let me know!
My passion means I offer affordable rates because I want to teach as many people. I can teach both offline and online. Just let me know your preferences.
