I have taught in a range of schools as a classroom and specialist teacher for over 20 years across all age levels in New Zealand and abroad since then. I also homeschooled our boys when we travelled for a year. I love making resources that save me time, help children learn best and which give me freedom to adapt and improve upon. I have also built my own website called worldskoolie.com which aims to help people find time and money freedom.
I have a hybrid teaching style that blends discussion, videos and hands on learning experiences in the classroom to enhance student engagement, love of learning and knowledge acquisition.
I grew up in South Africa and attended a mixed primary then a girls-only high school. Following that we moved to New Zealand where I attended university, completing two degrees conjointly (Science & Arts), majoring in Geography and Spanish. The next year, I completed a post-graduate diploma in primary teaching and haven't looked back.
I love working with kids, helping them to acquire new knowledge and skills.
I also love creating resources that do their job well to make learning and teaching easier.
Travel, gardening and spending time outdoors with family and friends are other passions.
