Bio: Yvonne Louw
I have been teaching on a part-time basis in a well-known and highly respected private school in Somerset West until the end of 2015. This gave me the wonderful opportunity of working with talented and creative young people who need high quality academic education but who find main stream schooling restrictive.
For the past 8 years I have worked extensively with private students on a one-on-one basis, and the good matric results of my international students is proof of the excellent relationships which we had.
I am a fully qualified scribe with experience in scribing for the final matric exams for learners with consessions.

Bio: Rouvé Rautenbach

Bio: Rykie Neubert
My teaching career started about 20 years ago and continued at schools which focussed on learners’ individual educational needs and in which personal attention played an important role. This teaching environment enabled me to forge strong teacher/learner relationships, to the benefit of each of my learners, which in turn assisted them in reaching unexpected educational goals. I believe that a teacher should always create a positive environment in which learners can learn and grow.
I have always had a heart for children and my aim throughout my career has been (and still is) to bring out the best in each child, so that he/she can develop to his/her full potential.
I am fully committed to educate each child, which has been entrusted to me, to the best of my ability.
