I have a masters in Cultural History (Pretoria University), a Teaching Diploma, (Stellenbosch University) and recently obtained online certificates for editing and proofreading at Scribendi. Living outside South Africa since October 2001, I have done freelance teaching teaching on all levels: English beginners to advanced, business English, Toefl, Eilts and literature. As travelling has become a life style, I write especially travel stories. While employed at the Department of Research Development at Stellenbosch University editing of research proposals was part of my job description, a position I flourished in because of my excellent general knowledge, logical approach to a subject, and inborn curiosity about life. During the past 18 years I was exposed to different cultures and peoples, which helped me to grow intellectually as well as personally. I have quality experience and dedication which would benefit my employer on every level.
