About me

I am a dedicated and hard working individual who strives to always give of my best.

I have worked in various fields from Insurance, Administration, Corporate, Hospitality and
Farming.

Presently I am the Finance Manager for a dairy farm on the outskirts of the town in which I live.

My passion is for teaching and helping others succeed in their careers.

I have the patience and willingness to help anyone I can.

I have taught various people how to do things including accounting work and help running a business. I have also taught basic computer skills such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

I love teaching children as well.

I used to work at a school and used to stand in for teachers when they were not there.

I have also taught Sunday School (for children) for many years.

I would love the opportunity to teach and help others, I feel it is a calling rather than a profession.

I am fluent in both English and Afrikaans and can impart this knowledge onto anyone who is needing assistance.

I have completed my TEFL course and would be an asset to anyone who needs to be taught.

My lessons can be tailored to suit your needs.

My Hobbies are reading, arts and crafts, walking and interacting with others

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.

I look forward to hearing from you.

My education and experience

I matriculated in 1989 receiving a matric certificate.

Straight after matric I proceeded to attend a college which taught me Secretarial, computer skills and programs.

I worked for an international insurance company doing various administration tasks, claims handling, secretarial duties and accounting. I received various in-house training which helped me further my career.

After the company withdrew from S.A. I then worked for a group of optometry practices doing all forms of accounting and admin. I gave motivational training and computer training to various staff as and when it was required.

Further to that, I was then appointed as the Finance Manager for an Agricultural N.G.O, where I did all aspects of accounting. I also gave computer and motivational training to staff.

Later I took a position as Finance Manager for a company in the hospitality industry. Here I did various forms accounting work. Also assisted with training of staff.

At present I am the Finance Manager for a large farm on the outskirts of the city in which I live. I do all forms of administration and accounting.

I have a passion for teaching so I would like to pursue this in the future as I feel it will be such a satisfying accomplishment to help others further themselves.

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!

Sophie is helping my son learn English tremendously. She is very patient and kind, which is why my son is making quick progress. The application is transparent and reliable in terms of payments. I am really satisfied with everything. Thank you.

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.
