Primary School
I grew up in Middelburg Mpumalanga, but I have been in Pretoria since I was a student. I obtained my B.Prim. Ed (Junior Primary) degree from the University of Pretoria. I am married to Wessel and we are privileged to have 3 children (Wessel, Evan, and Anche).
I started teaching for gr.5 (Math and History), 6 (Afrikaans), and 7 (Life Orientation) at Laerskool JM Louw in Boksburg-North. I was a teacher at Laerskool Lynnwood for 22 years where I taught gr.1s and 2s. In 2021 me and a colleague published a Math workbook and teacher’s guide. In writing this book I realised anew how much passion I have for Maths. In 2024 I encountered the previous owner of ChumS Lynnmen Junior (Benita Kroukamp) and I had the opportunity to buy this wonderful business that she had built with great passion and love.
I feel privileged and blessed to continue this passion of mine and build on an incredible existing business that not only opens doors for children, but expands their world.
