Hobbies

  • Teaching Adults and Children
    I am very passionate about self-improvement and because of this I spent a great deal of my time teaching both children and adults. I absolutely love to see the expression on the faces of my students when they improve. The increase of self-esteem combined with motivation and gratitude yields such a great intrinsic relief. How great it is to know you assisted someone in believing in themselves!
