Bio
I am a highly motivated and passionate third year law student. In my free time I enjoy playing with my nephews, going on long walks and reading all types of books.
I am a very patient person. I am a good listener, especially when someone is struggling to understand certain concepts, and adapt my teaching style accordingly. I have a variety of study methods to teach to students if they are struggling with retaining information. I am a motivating person and always encourage people to do their best and to improve their confidence in their own abilities.
