Bio
I am a qualified primary school educator (Gr.4-9) with over 8 years teaching experience in public and private school systems. I enjoy reading, music, learning and enriching young minds.
I have very good leadership skills and have knowledge of various areas, such as language (English and Afrikaans), psychology and education. I am extremely patient and able to simplify difficult jargon to make it easier for students to understand. I have a passion for the subjects I teach and learning. I love to see others succeed and grow. I also have a special interest in remedial education.
