Bio
I am optimistic and never give up on achieving my goals no matter what. I love to encourage and help my students to do the same- even those who are on the verge of giving up.
I enjoy teaching and encouraging my students to do nothing but their very best. I am patient and able to step into the shoes of the students I work with. I meet each student where they are academically and remain supportive as they strive towards achieving their goals.

My Proudest
Achievements
• Matriculating with a pass that landed me a spot in Stellenbosch University despite the academic challenges I faced during my high school years. I had to fight to win and I'm grateful that I made it. This proves that there is nothing that one cannot achieve when they are truly determined.
Subjects

Afrikaans
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC. IEBI have always had a passion for learning languages. Having studied Afrikaans First Additional Language throughout high school, I have a strong command of the language because I enjoy the process of learning it. I wish to help others understand it better.
English
Grade 1 - Grade 10 NSC. IEBI have always had a deep appreciation for English because it is my home language. I was also involved in public speaking and have participated in a number of writing competitions, winning two. I am able to help others with all aspects of the language.
Life Orientation
Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEBI utilise knowledge from my study towards a degree in Psychology (as I work closely with the Life Orientation syllabus) in order to ensure that the learner succeeds and fully has an understanding of the content that he/ she needs to cover.
Mathematics

“Although she no longer lives as close to the house as she used to, she always makes an effort to come and conduct her lessons with Musa. Her willing nature seems to be rubbing off on Musa. She is also patient, and is able to challenge Musa to think harder than he would normally. I know it might not”- Nozipho
“She is dedicated to the classes. Very dedicated ”- Isaac
