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.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12 Potchefstroom University for CHO, IEB, NSC

It is my passion to transfer Afrikaans to my students, in such a manner that they would see this language as an asset and appreciate it as an effective manner of communication. Assessing each child, I adapt my class to find an effective way to make my student master the language.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 12 Potchefstroom University for CHO

History is the foundation of all people. Everyone has a history. It is my passion to make history a living story for my students, which will capture their minds and make an impression on them.

English

Grade 1 - Grade 9 TEFL, SACE (FAL)

Equipped with a TEFL certificate, I'm passionate about teaching English as a second language. With 30 years in the business industry, English became our primary form of communication.

  • Language Tutoring

Afrikaans

Beginner - Advanced

Each student I teach/tutor is a person with the potential to master Afrikaans. I assess each student and adapt my lessens accordingly to fit the needs of the student to make this path a successful one.
