Mariska Wilmari Steenkamp
Educator (Intermediate And Senior Phase)
Beaufort West
Summary
I am a creative and dedicated educator. I care about the learners' development in the classroom as well as outside the classroom setup. My heart is open to help and assist where I can as far as possible.
Even though achieving my degree was a challenge for me, the past 7-8 years of teaching has taught me valuable lessons that books could not teach me.
I enjoy finding new ways to teach a topic and to create resources that help the visual learners.
I adapt quickly and enjoy meeting new people to work with in different environments.
