Hi, I’m Lee-Anne! I’m currently completing my Bachelor of Education in the Foundation Phase, where I’ve developed a deep passion for early childhood development and teaching young learners in creative and engaging ways. I am bilingual in Afrikaans and English, which allows me to support learners in both languages comfortably. In my matric year, I achieved 84% for Afrikaans, and since then, my love for working with children and helping them grow has only grown stronger.

As a tutor, I aim to really get to know each student—what excites them, what challenges them, and what learning methods suit them best. I believe that every child learns differently, and by pinning down their specific needs and incorporating their interests into the lesson, I can create a space where learning feels fun and meaningful. Whether it’s through play, storytelling, or hands-on activities, I strive to make every lesson a positive experience that encourages confidence and curiosity.

In my spare time, I love hosting game nights with friends and family—it’s a great way to connect, laugh, and enjoy being in the moment. I also enjoy doing art, as it brings me to a calm and creative space where I can relax and recharge. These hobbies help me stay balanced and bring a sense of creativity and warmth to my teaching style.
