Name: Adie Pascual
Role: Part Time Tutor
University: City University
Degree: Psychology

Description:

Currently I am in my last year of study, it’s an incredibly busy time of the year. However, I still find the time to work at Explore because I love how the tutor role makes me feel as an individual and an employee.

One of my passions is working with children with the belief that our investment in them is truly what matters because they are the future and I think most of us want to leave the world a better place. Explore Learning does not fail to always keep my sights on that goal to give children the best tutoring and mentoring that I could give, to make a difference in their everyday lives.
