Hello!
I've spent over 30 years mentoring adults, and one thing’s clear — everyone learns differently, and that’s totally okay. I’m here to help you feel more confident with your English, whether you're working on conversation, test prep for IELTS (IDP certified) or TOEFL, or business skills. Lessons are relaxed, supportive, and tailored to your pace. I work with adults (18+), and I’m looking forward to chatting with you soon.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me in the garden growing weird and wonderful plants — the stranger, the better! I also love cooking, but only if there’s fire involved… give me a beach braai over a kitchen any day. Living at the coast means I get to enjoy our amazing beaches, and body-boarding is my go-to way to have fun.

Teaching Style
I'm the kind of teacher who: Builds real rapport, so students feel safe enough to try, fail, laugh, and grow. Customizes content to fit the student, not the other way around. Uses wit, empathy, and curiosity to keep learners engaged. Treats language as life skills, not just test material.
