Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm not just your average educator. While I am also teaching core subjects, I also wear many other hats. As a passionate gamer, I bring a unique perspective to the classroom, intertwining personal life experiences with my expertise in computer science and website design. What sets me apart even further is my neurodivergent identity, which equips me with a deep understanding of the diverse needs of children and adults who are also on the spectrum or have special needs. This blend of skills, experiences, and empathy allows me to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that caters to the individuality of every studentReviews
