South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated linguist and educator with a rich background in academia, visual arts, and private schooling. My journey began with a B. Soc Sci (Hon) in Linguistics and Applied Language Studies from Rhodes University, where I honed my analytical skills and developed a passion for teaching. Over the years, I have worked as a consultant teacher at Carnegie Hub Private School, where I teach Cambridge IGCSE, AS, and A Level subjects, focusing on small classes and personalized one-on-one sessions.
In addition to my teaching career, I am a freelance fine artist and illustrator, creating works in various mediums including watercolor, pen & ink, acrylic, and charcoal. My artistic endeavors complement my academic pursuits, allowing me to bring creativity into my teaching methods. I have also served as a Geological Database Manager and GIS Technician, where I provided technical services for geological exploration projects across Southern Africa, showcasing my ability to adapt and thrive in diverse environments.
