Bio

I am enthusiastic about education and creating equal opportunities for people from different socioeconomic backgrounds. My goal is to be a great scientist and use my skills to be a positive role model

My parents have taught me to always be willing to help anyone in need and this has motivated me throughout my life to do as much as I can to help others. I regularly volunteer at my local library and work with my church to do community outreach. I recently joined an NPO called TSTG where we aim to motivate and help learners from underprivileged communities with university applications.

Kayla has been an excellent tutor to Ayaan the approach is amazing Ayaan wasn't tense or nervous around her and is always excited for their sessions. His always asking when she's coming back. I'm very impressed with her patience as well as techniques and advise.

Kayla always makes sure that i am up to date with the topics and not only that,but that im understanding of the topics and always makes sure to send me links of videos of topics that i did not understand, and this has resulted in my percentage in life science being better than it was last term.
