Bio
Literary study has touched me at the deepest levels. Sharing such an experience with others makes me breathe.
At New York University I studied with some of the most exciting teachers and theorists in English Education. I have read widely and can make use of creative, communicative and interesting strategies. Adept with both strong and weak learners. Expert in the development of writing and reading skills. I am friendly, can listen and can evoke young people's power to learn.
Education
• Master's Degree in English Education (New York University), after studying at UNISA. I have taught first-year English and Academic Development for twenty years at the University of the Western Cape.

Achievements
