Grade 2 teacher and English Specialist TeacherAt Curro Hazeldean Primary school, I became the Grade 2 English Home Language Specialist Teacher for all the Curro Schools across South Africa. This entailed compiling the schools curriculum, assessments and rubrics. I also moderated other schools books and files to give guidance and make sure they are on track with the curriculum.

Michele is a great teacher, she is so kind and friendly. Our lessons are always well planned so that we always have something to talk about. Michelle is a very attentive teacher who either corrects my mistakes or explains everything whatever comes to mind. She is so patient and gives me a hand if I really need it. I enjoy our classes picking up new vocabs, phrases and learning new things through her life/experience.

The first lesson flew by very quickly, I was very happy to get to know Michelle. She is very friendly and nice, I felt so comfortable chatting with her. She asked my goals and told me how our lessons would go. I really appreciate the way she avoids pauses which I can make when I`m nervous and can`t really say back anything in that moment, she is so helpful and kind.
