Bio
I am a teacher who has a passion for the subjects I teach, and it is my mission to create in my students the same enthusiasm. I believe that a positive, motivated child is a successful student.
I am positive and my mission is to plant in each student/tutor the seed of believing in themself and make them love the subject I teach. My classes may differ from one student and another because I adapt according to each student's needs and abilities.
Education
• BA (HOD). I taught at a Secondary school for a while. Now I tutor students on a one-to-one basis
My Proudest
Achievements
• Seeing my student's marks climb after they received lessons from me.
• Hear one of my students (who started as a very negative student) say they have spoken Afrikaans with another Afrikaans-speaking person to express themself during a conversation.
