I am a qualified Foundation Phase teacher (B.Ed.) with classroom experience across Grade RR, Grade R and Grades 1–3 in South Africa and in Kazan and Moscow, Russia. I am also trained in after‑school care for Grades 1–3.
I build early literacy, numeracy and overall child development through age‑appropriate, evidence‑based instruction, continuous daily observation and assessment, and a balanced mix of academic, creative and physical routines. Support children’s social and emotional growth through structured classroom practice, targeted small‑group interventions and nurturing after‑school care, working to ensure each child’s learning, wellbeing and readiness for the next stage of school.
Weekly play‑based, sensory language lessons designed to support early language development and motor skills for toddlers (ages 2–3.5). Sessions—arranged in partnership with guardians—use sensory exploration, movement, songs, stories, and hands‑on activities to promote vocabulary growth, phonological awareness, fine‑ and gross‑motor coordination, problem‑solving, and independent exploration. Each lesson is child‑centered and routine‑based, with short, repetitive activities that scaffold attention and learning. I use continuous observation and informal assessment to track progress, share feedback with guardians, and set simple, individual next steps. The sessions take place in a safe, stimulating environment that encourages caregiver–child interaction and provides practical strategies families can use at home to extend learning.

I am currently helping to lead a major charity initiative serving George and the greater Garden Route, in collaboration with established business leaders, medical professionals, social workers and other community partners. We aim to have the project operational by late 2026 or early 2027. Its purpose is to create a safe, nurturing haven for children and infants that combines high‑quality care with early educational stimulation, targeted family support and professional guidance. The programme will work in partnership with the South African education system and local child‑welfare services to deliver age‑appropriate learning activities, developmental screening, health services and parent/carer training, ensuring sustainable, community‑led impact.
