Determination meets success

I'm co-owner of Tenacity and an actuarial student with a strong background in advanced mathematics. I've been tutoring for five years and I genuinely love it - there's something special about watching a student who felt stuck suddenly find their stride. Outside the classroom, I've volunteered as a kids' soccer coach and done service trips to Peru and Kenya, experiences that reinforced how much I care about education and mentorship. I try to bring that same energy into every session.

I'm studying veterinary medicine, which means I spend my days learning about animals and my evenings explaining algebra, with surprisingly similar levels of patience required. I've been tutoring since finishing high school, working with students across Maths, English and Science at every confidence level. I'm a big believer that most students are not "bad" at a subject. Usually, one idea just never clicked properly, and everything after it got harder than it needed to be. My job is to break things down clearly, rebuild confidence, and make sure students leave feeling a lot less hopeless than when they arrived.

I'm a medical student at WSU, and I know firsthand what it feels like to stare at a problem and think you'll never crack it — so I bring a lot of patience to every session. I tutor Maths and English across Years 5-10, and what matters most to me isn't the mark at the end (though those do improve!) — it's making sure every student feels safe to ask questions, make mistakes and try again. There's no such thing as a silly question in my class. Watching a student finally 'get it' is genuinely the best part of my week.
