About Me

I am a compassionate, creative individual with a passion for teaching languages. I am very agreeable and I believe in an open-door policy. I am good listener, and I can sum up a situation very fast. I am very perceptive and should it be necessary, I can be an agony aunt. But first and foremost, I am an educator. I am in your corner, given you also pull your weight.

Being able to teach Afrikaans or English, gives me a sense of purpose. I am a motivator, an enforcer and I always want the best for my learners according to what they are able to deliver according to their abilities.

I meet the learner on the level they are at, and I also rely on the learner to point out areas in which they need extra attention. I tutored a learner with special needs Afrikaans Eerste Addisionele Taal for 3 years - from grade 10 - 12 and her marks improved. I tutored private learners in Saudi Arabia (English) and in 2025 I tutored a grade 8 learner. I have 15 years of teaching experience in mainstream schools, in LSEN schools and as a Learning Support Teacher. I am especially focused on improving reading comprehension. I use worksheets, or the learner provides me with the material they are struggling with. I build exercises and classes accordingly.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Learn world history, international relations, and political science from a former U.S. diplomat with 16 years of professional experience in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C.

This class is designed for high school and university students, adult learners, and anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of how international affairs, politics, economics, and diplomacy actually work. Lessons can be tailored to your interests, academic coursework, or professional goals.

Topics can include international relations and foreign policy; diplomacy and negotiation; the United Nations and other international organizations; U.S. government and foreign policy; international security; global economic and technology issues; cross-cultural communication; and the relationship between history and current world events.

My teaching style emphasizes understanding and discussion rather than simply memorizing facts. We'll examine why countries and leaders make the choices they do, how governments negotiate and cooperate, and how historical and cultural factors shape today's world.

Before transitioning into education, I served for 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, with assignments in China, Indonesia, Madagascar, Chad, and Washington, D.C. I have also taught English in China and Japan, served as a graduate teaching assistant in international relations at American University, and taught undergraduate students at the University of Maryland.

Whether you're preparing for a class or exam, considering a career in international affairs, or simply want to understand world events more deeply, I will tailor our lessons to your interests and goals.
