So many students who need help and so little time. Selling myself is not something I enjoy doing, so let’s look at my story in a nutshell instead:

My teaching journey started in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where I gained a BSc degree, majoring in Maths and Geography. This was followed by a Higher Diploma in Education. 30 years later and I still love teaching. I have gained valuable experiences in so many different areas.

2013 had to be the highlight of my studying experiences, when I gained a Master’s in Education and Leadership, at Canterbury Christchurch University. My dissertation was on ‘Managing and leading dyslexia in the maths classroom’. The research I completed during my studies, provided me with a renewed drive to help and support students who find maths challenging for whatever reason.

My passion became that of helping my students to realise we all learn differently, access content differently and with a ‘Can do’ attitude, the sky becomes the limit. At this time, it also became clear that my own difficulties with maths was not related to an inability to do maths, rather a need to learn in a different manner because of dyslexia.
