Hi, I’m Elize! I’ve been passionate about education for as long as I can remember, and I’m proud to say I’ve been a teacher since 2016. I hold a Bachelor of Education degree in the Intermediate and Senior Phase, and I’m also a certified Little Sparkz facilitator. In my matric year, I achieved excellent grades—something I strive to help my learners accomplish too. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to support learners in subjects like Business Studies and Computer Applications Technology (CAT), ensuring they not only grasp the content but feel confident applying it.

As a tutor, I take a personalized approach—first assessing each learner’s individual needs and identifying where the content becomes challenging. From there, I target those specific areas with focused, practical support. Whether it’s navigating the ins and outs of Business Studies, mastering digital skills in CAT, or building a stronger foundation in English or Afrikaans, I aim to build both competence and confidence in every learner I work with.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy creative writing, developing educational resources, and mentoring young learners. I also love spending time in nature—especially taking walks with my daughter—diving into thought-provoking books, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I believe that a balanced, curious life makes for a more engaged teacher, and I bring that energy into every lesson I teach.

I’m currently in my fourth year of a Bachelor of Education with a specialization in the Senior and FET Phase, and I’ve also completed a 160-hour TEFL course to strengthen my ability to teach English as a foreign language.

I achieved 3 distinctions — 91% in Afrikaans, 88% in English, and 81% in Business Studies — reflecting my dedication to learning and academic excellence.

I focus on reinforcing what the teacher has already introduced by re-explaining the material in a method that suits the learner best. My approach is to start with the basics, ensuring the foundational concepts are solid before building up to more complex content. I believe in patient, flexible teaching that adapts to the learner’s pace and style to help them grow in confidence and ability.

In my spare time, I’ve recently discovered a love for crocheting — it’s both relaxing and creatively rewarding. Family time is very important to me, and we often spend weekends hiking or going for walks together. I’m also actively involved at my church, and nothing beats a good beach day to recharge and enjoy nature. These hobbies and values help me stay grounded and bring warmth and balance to my teaching.
