I have a passion for teaching and find joy in seeing young people gain confidence and capability in languages. I've been privileged to build a career of more than 38 years in teaching English and Afrikaans. Now I aim to offer specialist guidance to learners who wish to excel in these languages at school. I hold teaching and drama degrees from the University of the Free State. I started my teaching
career at the Ongwediva Teachers Training College, Namibia, teaching English and Afrikaans. My second posting was at Luckhoff High School, Stellenbosch, teaching Afrikaans, where-after I returned to Namibia and continued teaching. I taught English and Afrikaans in Secondary and Primary schools across diverse communities. (Gobabis, Keetmanshoop, Windhoek - including Herman Gemeiner SOS Children's Village). My final posting in Namibia was as Principal and English language teacher at Ponhofi Secondary School, Ohangwena Region, 2002-2007 (8km from the Angolan border!)
I've since retired from full time teaching, but continued to offer support to classes and teachers in schools across Namibia and South Africa. Presently I am elated to be in the next cycle of growth namely teaching young people for improved language achievement. It is my sincere wish that you'll join me on this journey, wherever you may be.
