Education

Self Taught Tutor

Experience

My name is Brett, and I have no qualifications related to teaching. However, I do believe that tutoring people indirectly makes us better at what we do. With me, you'll be able to learn through my own experiences rather than just the ABC or textbook. We will take a creative and autonomous approach in how I guide you through your struggles.

Tutoring Approach

Strategic, Fun, Impactful are probably the three words I will use to describe my approach when it comes to ensuring that I strategize how I can deliver the information to you in a fun way. At the end of the day, it will someday be impactful to you as you further apply it.
