A note from Eti:

“While being a Software Engineer and I love my job, I cannot ignore how I was taught at school while growing up. Therefore, I have always felt that the teachers were never ‘absorbed’ into the teaching but rather just instructing in one-way manner instead of teaching in a discussion manner. I am here to make studies easier for students and to be ‘in’ the process of learning with them and teach the student rather than just instructing.

As a teacher, my prime responsibility is to develop student’s critical thinking skills so that they grow up into responsible adults who are ready to take on any challenge thrown at them by life. I believe mathematics, physics and programming are more than problem solving for getting good grades but rather it helps the student growing up to approach real life scenarios with a problem solving approach.“
