I am very glad to be a new member of staff at Buddhist Ho Nam Kam College, I have already been made to feel welcome by both staff and students.

I come from South Africa, but I spent a few years teaching in Taiwan before I came to Hong Kong in 2009.  I taught kindergarten, elementary and high school in Taiwan before leaving to pursue my teaching career further in South Africa.  In South Africa I taught high school students from different backgrounds English as a first or second language, depending on their mother tongue.  

I hold a degree in English and Linguistics from the University of South Africa, as well as a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education from the same institution.  I am currently working towards my Masters degree in Second Language Acquisition.

I believe that all students have the capacity to be good learners, and that there should always be a “can do” attitude in the classroom.  Thus I expect my students to adopt the same air of positivity in the English class.  I hope that the students will be motivated to try their best in the English lessons and that we will build an environment in which everyone will thrive.

I look forward to a building a lasting relationship with the staff and students at Ho Nam Kam College.
