Bio
I'm a retired teacher. In addition to my Bachelor's Degree, I also completed M.Ed at RAU. I have teaching experience in South Africa, the UAE, and America.
Having taught children of different cultures in differing curricula, I have a deep understanding of children's academic and intellectual needs. I can identify areas where they struggle and build up their understanding from basics to advanced concepts.
