Bio

I taught at St Mary's, in Zimbabwe, and in England. I homeschooled my kids the Cambridge syllabus, two of whom are currently pursuing an MSc. in Animal Science and a BSc. in Mech Engineering.

I am positive and hope I build self esteem in the people I teach. I challenge my pupils so that they can think and formulate opinions that reflect their own beliefs. I am passionate about teaching and I believe that education should be made available in a form that the child as an individual can grasp and understand.

Education

• I have a Diploma in Education. I was a tennis coach but my licence has lapsed. I was the first and second team girl's tennis and hockey coach.

My Proudest
Achievements

• Taking part in a three-phase horse riding event (dressage, show jumping and cross country).
• Being asked to teach Physical Science at Alma Mater and having the children pass really well considering we only had 3 months to bring their work up to an acceptable level.

Subjects

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC, IEB

I teach Physical Science remedially. I try to make the subject practical and stimulating by doing as much physical proving as possible.

Mathematics

I have a passion for mathematics. I have always tried to make it interesting and to show its application to real life situations. I am committed to helping the child find and achieve their goals by giving as much as I can.

“They are very patient during lessons and makes sure that I understand the material before moving on with a new topic. They go the extra mile by allowing me to send them a message if I struggle with work before and after lessons. Pippa is also very encouraging and pushes me to do better. ”
