About me
Recently retired, I find myself eager to return to a field I’ve always been passionate about: teaching. With a deep-rooted enthusiasm for working and engaging with students, I am excited to leverage my ample free time to contribute positively to their development. I derive immense satisfaction from helping students grow and improve themselves. My years of experience in finance and banking have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of various sectors within the industry, including credit reviews, property and trade finance applications, personal and home loan approvals as well as savings and investment advice as I am a qualified FAIS representative at Standard Bank of South Africa ltd. This expertise enriches my perspective, allowing me to offer valuable insights into real-world applications of banking and financial principles. Additionally, I value the diversity of working with international students, as it enhances both my experience and their learning journey.
My education and experience
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, where I also completed a one-year Postgraduate Higher Diploma in Education. My professional journey began as an English educator, first at Girls High School for a year and then at Rosefern Primary School for two years. Seeking new opportunities, I transitioned to Standard Bank South Africa Ltd., where I initially served as an Assistant Business Manager for a decade, managing client accounts and supporting business operations. During this time, I earned a Certificate in Banking and completed all examinations to become a Certified Associate of the Institute of Bankers of South Africa CAIB(SA). I was subsequently promoted to Debt Recovery Manager, where I led a team focused on optimizing debt recovery processes. My effective leadership and strategic insights led to a promotion to Head of Department, directing operations for nine years. In 2006, I advanced to the role of Commercial Business Account Analyst, responsible for analyzing complex commercial accounts and crafting strategic solutions to drive business growth. I held this senior position for 16 years until my resignation in 2022. Returning to my passion for education, I took a position at Sobantu Secondary School as an English educator in 2023, while also providing private tuition to students needing additional support.

I'm really pleased with how the platform operates. It was effortless to discover teachers who perfectly matched my requirements. The lessons I received were exceptionally satisfying, and I feel like I've made significant progress in my English within a short period. The ability to create and personalize my lesson schedule to suit my work commitments was a huge advantage.

I enjoy learning English with Jacob and Brian. Their teaching style is relaxed, and I find it easier to understand English now. The website is user-friendly, and I appreciate receiving reminders for each of my lessons, the free cancellation policy is very useful!

The platform is simply amazing. The teachers are also incredibly warm and friendly. I took advantage of the discounted introductory lessons and had the opportunity to meet different teachers. The lessons are more like a friendship than a teacher-student relationship.

Emma teaches my daughter English in a very fun way. She is always cheerful and makes the lessons more enjoyable. I consider it a great opportunity to have met Emma through this application and to have her teach us English!

I started learning English from scratch. I worked with Teacher Umut for the first 3 months. When I reached a level where I could communicate without Turkish support, I continued working with my teacher Jade. I am very satisfied with the system. I recommend it to anyone who wants to take lessons regularly and aims to overcome English as a barrier in their life.
