Teaching, to me, is more than just helping a student pass an exam — it is about understanding how each child learns and creating a safe, encouraging environment where they can grow with confidence.
Over the years, I have worked as a mathematics teacher, a homeschool teacher, and a shadow teacher supporting children with different learning needs. These experiences have shaped me into a patient, adaptable, and deeply compassionate educator who genuinely loves working with students of all abilities.
One of the most meaningful parts of my journey has been working closely with children with special needs, particularly learners with dyslexia and autism. Through this, I learned that every child is capable of progress when taught with patience, consistency, understanding, and the right approach. I take pride in creating lessons that are engaging, personalized, and suited to each learner’s pace and strengths.
I am especially passionate about helping students build confidence in subjects they may initially struggle with, particularly Mathematics. I believe learning should never feel intimidating, and I always strive to make my sessions interactive, supportive, and enjoyable.
Parents and students appreciate my calm nature, reliability, and ability to connect well with learners both academically and emotionally. Whether your child needs academic support, homeschooling assistance, exam preparation, or personalized guidance as a learner with special needs, I am committed to helping them succeed and feel confident in their abilities.
My goal is not only to teach but to inspire growth, independence, and a genuine love for learning.

Experience

Teacher (Sep, 2025–Present) at Home School Teacher and Shadow Teacher

As a shadow teacher I accompanied my pupil to class as they were a special need pupil (dyslexic) with my help they were able to concentrate more in class and learn in the same environment as the other pupils.

As a home educator I have had the opportunity to homeschool an autistic pupil, where I taught all the subject from Numeracy, Literacy, Science, Computer, Art… I managed to improve the pupils concentration and make them love and enjoy reading.
