I'm a full time teacher at a private school in Pretoria, South Africa where I live.
After school, I'm involved in coaching of various sporting codes such as: soccer, cricket, tennis etc. Coaching sport and teaching gives me a nice balance. Balance is something that is important to me. Without it, life would be busy and less enjoyable. That is why I aim to help my students improve their skills through balanced conversations with various topics that would interest them. My love for teaching and working with people is what drives me daily. Hope to meet you soon so that we can build a relationship where I can help you reach your goals.

No matter what level you are on, I will walk the road with you to help you fulfill your goals.
