I was awarded this certificate for completing the August 2019 Facilitation course offered by our school. I looked closely at learning barriers, such as; Audio-processing disorder, Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia etc and how to overcome them in a classroom and learning environment.

I graduated with my Post Graduate Certificate in Education from The University of Cape Town in December 2014.

I studied my undergraduate degree at the University of Cape Town (UCT). I majored in History and Public Policy and Administration (Politics). I had English Etymology and media studies courses that allowed me to express myself creatively using the English language.

I completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at the end of 2014. I focused my studies on teaching English, Life Orientation and High School History.

I have worked as a the Foundation Phase Mentor Facilitator at a local primary school, Pinelands North Primary School (PNPS) for over a year. My duties include teaching children between the ages of 6 and 10 to read and write, as well as maths skills. I work one-on-one with learners within the larger classroom setting of up to 32 learners. I like to use phonetics (Jolly Phonics) and other fun teaching techniques to encourage good English skills.
