Since then, Coline has volunteered to teach primary school foundational mathematics to hone her teaching skills. She was later able to apply her teaching methods to students in the IB programme that she taught privately. She fosters a positive and encouraging learning atmosphere, helping students develop problem solving skills and gain the confidence to excel in Mathematics and Physics.
“At first, I was especially struggling with complex math concepts like Vectors and Complex Numbers, but she taught me how to quickly understand them. She has this way of breaking them down into manageable steps, making them feel much less intimidating. I can’t thank her enough for all the help! ”
