Biography

I studied at UNISA (University of South Africa). I changed my career path in 1994 after the birth of my 3rd child when i realised that i needed a more child-friendly career - teaching!! I ran a Kumon Maths and English Centre for many years and was a supply teacher at a primary school. Concurrently I started tutoring older children for whom the Kumon method was not sufficient. I now tutor high school (to Gr 12)in English and Maths but still work with children of primary school age with learning challenges. I no longer run a Kumon Centre as, upon relocating to Cape Town, I preferred to do private tutoring to small groups of high school students. In the meantime, I did an online Nutrition course (I was a gym instructor in my MUCH earlier days) mainly so I can help parents ensure that their children are getting the right foods for optimal potential. I am also a contributing author to a series of English FAL (First Additional Language) textbooks for grade 7 in South Africa.
