My teaching style, grounded in the CAPS curriculum, emphasizes strong discipline essential for life skills. I maintain a nurturing environment where positive reinforcement is key, fostering mutual respect and trust. My students thrive because they know I care deeply about their success and well-being.

With a deep passion for teaching, I find fulfillment in shaping young minds and fostering a love for learning. I believe in cherishing each moment in life, valuing every experience as an opportunity for growth. My guiding principle is rooted in respect and empathy; I don't view people as stepping stones but as valuable individuals deserving kindness and understanding. This philosophy echoes not only in my teaching style but also in my approach to life, where genuine connections and meaningful interactions are at the core of everything I do.
