Why Knoji?

I teach at Knoji because I have a genuine passion for helping students truly understand maths concepts and enjoy the learning process. As a Knoji tutor, I prioritise that every student leaves the classroom with a genuine understanding of the material. Knoji is a community where students should feel encouraged to ask questions, share knowledge, and grow together in a supportive environment.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Don't wait for motivation (you will not always feel motivated to study) -- create structure and discipline. Set small, achievable goals to keep your momentum going and build your confidence. Progress, not perfection, is what matters most and this is built through persistence. Keep showing up and studying, even when it is hard!

What's your superpower?

My secret superpower is the ability to build genuine connections, and make others feel seen and truly heard.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Break things down and do a little each day — it makes studying less overwhelming and helps things stick. Getting 1 percent better every day counts for a lot in the long run.

Why Knoji?

I teach at Knoji because it fosters a culture of curiosity and growth. As a Knoji tutor, I prioritise building students' confidence in their problem-solving abilities. Knoji is a community where learning is personalised, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Focus on truly understanding concepts rather than just memorising formulas. Deep understanding makes it easier to adapt to harder problems later on. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions — they show you're thinking, not that you're struggling. Learning how to learn is just as important as the content itself.

What's your superpower?

Making tough maths problems tap out faster than you can say quadratic formula.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Try and romanticise what you’re learning - it’s always tougher to pay attention and learn something if you’re going into a lesson expecting it to be boring.

What's your superpower?

Being able to read something and instantly memorise it.

Why Knoji?

Knoji is a community where you don’t have to be perfect - just curious

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Stop trying to make your notes pretty before you understand them! Understanding matters more than colour coding (but don’t worry, pastel highlighter still have a place).

What's your superpower?

Turning “I can’t do it” into “wait maybe I can!”

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Small, steady effort makes a big difference over time. You don’t need to study for hours, just do a little bit every day. It’s the habit that builds momentum.

Peace of mind. I always bring peace and calmness to stressful situations.

Why Knoji?

Knoji is a community where all aspects of our students’ education is valued. Because of this, I find that community at Knoji is one where students are encouraged to ask questions, seek advice, and consider their education from several perspectives. This makes the learning experience more fulfilling for both students and tutors.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Always ask for help when you need it. I firmly believe we do not achieve anything alone, and that other people’s assistance and knowledge can always help you improve.

What's your superpower?

Turning paralysis into action - that is, finding what a problem is, and making a plan to resolve it.
