I was a slow average student for many years, I was constantly compared to 'smarter' kids and this lowered my self esteem and self confidence. When I passed for a non-prestigious school, I heard "I didn't expect anything better". I felt sad, prejudged and misunderstood as a learner, a student and a child. However, I eventually channelled my feelings into determination to prove my deflectors wrong. I certainly did, when I achieved 8 Grade ones at CXC in one single sitting!! I went on to achieve a BSC. Upper Class Honours, MSC. (Distinction) and earned a Post Graduate Diploma in Education (Distinction). My academic journey from low self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness and frustration to self-confidence and success was a path of self-love and self-discovery. I had to learn how to learn on my own through trial and error because no one thought me how. The more I learnt who I was and understood how my mind worked, the more I enjoyed learning. This self-discovery of the learner in me, helped me to develop systems and practical principles for academic success. It has become my passion to help students discover the learner in them, overcome limited beliefs and achieve great academic success. I do this through one on one coaching and my signature Study Guide, Learning Style Guide and Study Timetable Template.
