I have done my M.Sc & B.Ed to become a qualified teacher. As a Science (Biology) facilitator, my objective is to make the subject more likable and achievable. I would like to help my students to understand that the subject of Biology is like a Coconut! Its shell is usually hard. However, with persistence, patience and practice, it's not difficult to taste the sweet and soft kernel inside it. I value individuality and strive to meet the needs of every student. I do give online tuition as well as offline tuition (in my close vicinity).
