I am a qualified pharmacist by background and have always been involved in teaching, specialising in this field early in my career, and also got involved in tutoring/ teaching prior to becoming a pharmacist.
I have a very flexible and open approach to teaching/ tutoring, tailoring to your individual needs and preferences. I welcome feedback and comments on your preferences, even in the middle of a lesson, so that you can get the most out of your time with me.
Can offer one off lessons or regularly scheduled sessions based on your requirements.
Speaking fluent English and Arabic (range of dialects), intermediate Spanish and basic French enables me to communicate with a range of students from different backgrounds.
In my spare time I enjoy playing the piano and ice skating.
