Lee-Anne Visagie
@lee-annevisagie
Montessori-trained educator and remedial reading therapist focused on student potential.
What I'm looking for
I am an honours-trained psychologist, Montessori and ESL qualified educator with extensive experience in remedial reading therapy, curriculum design, and inclusive early childhood education. I owned and operated a multicultural pre-school and literacy centre in South Africa and have supported children with ASD, dyslexia, ADHD and other barriers to learning, while freelancing on educational assessment and AI tool development.
I currently provide online tutoring, learning resources and assessment authoring for educational publishers, and I volunteer in adult literacy and employability training. I bring project management, teacher training, content development and student-centred intervention experience, and I seek to collaborate with schools and platforms committed to enabling each learner's excellence.
