Here’s what Shantay has to say about her approach:
“My educational journey has taken many years, which I believe has taught me the academic resilience I strive to instill in my students. Teaching allows me to broaden my students’ perspectives and help them pursue their personal, academic, and professional goals. I believe a quality education is vital, and should be accessible to all. At Step Forward Tuition, we provide a bespoke, individualised learning experience, enabling each student to achieve their full potential. Our unique, fun approach to learning helps shift the mindset of our students, fostering a genuine love for education that stays with them throughout life.”
