After four years of Theological study, my passion for influencing the next generation has only increased. Having learnt much about the contextual realities for Youth in the 21st century, I believe I am well equipped to handle teaching and influencing children of all ages in South Africa today. I am currently enrolled at Stadio (Embury) to complete a P.G.C.E (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) specifically focusing on Life Orientation, and hopefully at a later stage to further my learning in English and Geography studies. For the past 8 years I have been involved in Youth Ministries with the Church, ranging from leading large youth groups to doing many Holiday Clubs where I amongst other leaders taught and influenced children for a week (once, sometimes twice) in a year sice 2014. From all my ministry experience I have found that my strongest place of influence is in working with individuals, specifically in giving counselling and guidance and support. My greatest desire at the moment is to work in schools, as this is where many children who could benefit from guidance are found. Having enjoyed my five years at Pretoria Boys High School being actively involved in School and Hostel Prefectships, as well as playing first team for both Rugby and Basketball, my hope is to lead youngsters to do their absolute best despite the challenges life will often throw at them. In school, I also tried to be as involved as possible as I spent some time doing first aid and many years in my school choir and the University of Pretoria Youth Choir. I believe in having a well balanced life, from doing your best on the sports field, to being involved in some form of culture and always striving for success in the academic field as well. my desire is to see children learn to do this as soon as possible to the benefit of their own futures one day. At present I am in a position to offer tutoring to a primary school children, whilst I complete my PGCE.

I can tutor all primary school subjects and would love the opportunity to help a child with their school week in general at a primary going school age. Also just to assist with homework and prepare for assessments'. I believe that my tertiary education and life experience to date put me in good stead for such a position. Even though my home language is English, we spoke both English and Afrikaans at home.

Even though my home language is English, we spoke both English and Afrikaans at home. I learnt that when it comes to learning, it is most important that the teacher is patient. I was by no means the top achiever, however this allowed me to develop the learning strategies to achieve commendable results. Teaching is more about showing the student how to learn in the best way to the point where they are self sufficient and confident in their learning abilities.
