I studied Law at The University of Pretoria. Then I embarked on a career in the hospitality industry lasting 25 years. I worked all over the world in bars, restaurants, night clubs, hotels and cruise ships. I did extensive training with the staff that I managed, both hospitality training and in English training. I proceeded doing a number of courses specializing in the teaching of English and became an educator teaching English as a foreign language. I believe in treating each student as an individual and try to custmomize lessons according to their needs and goals.

I have many hobbies which include aviculture, cooking, travelling and skydiving.
