Hi, I'm Julia! I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts and a teaching certificate for elementary education.
I am from South Africa and was an elementary school teacher there for a few years. I taught in a classroom setting and loved it - the energy of a room full of curious and eager minds was wonderful to be in every day.

Hi, I'm Julia! I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts and a teaching certificate for elementary education.
I am from South Africa and was an elementary school teacher there for a few years. I taught in a classroom setting and loved it - the energy of a room full of curious and eager minds was wonderful to be in every day. I taught ages 5 - 9, and helped the students build foundational skills while also encouraging curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
While I enjoyed classroom teaching, I really valued the one-on-one interactions I had with students, where I could give them my full attention, focus on their strengths and help them where they needed it. I believe that every child learns differently, so I adapt my approach to meet each student’s needs—whether that means breaking concepts into smaller steps, using visual examples, or incorporating creative activities to reinforce understanding.
As a tutor, my goal is to help students build skills and confidence. I want them to feel good about their abilities, whether it's academic, creative or problem solving. I also like to really get to know a student, so I can help them as best I can! Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a lesson!
