Renee' C - Tutor in Bailey`s Muckleneuk
Hi! I'm an industry professional turned tutor and would like to offer you all the knowledge I have obtained through the years. I am an outgoing person who loves the outdoors, spending time with my dogs, going horseback riding and hiking amongst South Africa's beautiful fauna and flora. I also enjoy reading historical fiction or fantasy books (like Lord of the Rings, Eragon and any Ken Follet book). I've always been an artist with a love for oil and acrylic paining or ink sketching. Staying active and healthy has always been important to me, and so I enjoy fresh food and clean eating, yoga, Pilates and jogging. I have worked in the tourism field for several years now, but have also done work as a vocal studies lecturer, drama industry prep. lecturer, film and theater producer, film and theater director, directing team assistant on movie sets, actor, artist and a private art history tutor.
