2021 - 2024
Professional TeacherI have been teaching English and Afrikaans here on italki since 2021. I've worked with just over 70 students so far (up to 2024) and taught close to 3000 lessons. My students usually stay with me long-term as I've been working with most of them for 1-2 years up to now. I've taught mostly children and teens (from beginner to upper-intermediate level), but also many adults in Afrikaans, Business English, General English and conversational classes.
Formation
2017 - 2019
Licence - BCompt. Financial Accounting (Incomplete)I studied towards a bachelor’s degree in Financial Accounting for 5 semesters before realising that a career in accounting was not for me, even though I passed every module with distinction. These subjects included Economics, Business Management, Commercial Law, Financial Accounting, Tax, Auditing and Financial Mathematics. I elected to pursue teaching as a primary career instead and focus on my own new business I had just started. I had, however, gained valuable experience in Business English.
2024 - Actuel
Licence - English and PsychologyI am currently studying part-time towards my Bachelor's degree in English and Psychology with the aim of improving my proficiency as a professional English teacher and to be able to connect with and understand my students more effectively.
Expérience professionnelle
2015 - 2021
Retail Store ManagerMy family and I opened this business in 2015, and I had been operating as the overall manager. My responsibilities include (i.e.): operational and financial management; customer/supplier communications; conflict-resolution and problem-solving; productivity management; training, managing, and leading the staff; stock management; teaching jewellery-making classes and creating the courses; and designing promotional material.
2021 - Actuel
Professional Online Language TeacherI have been teaching English and Afrikaans here on italki since 2021 and during this time have gained valuable experience and expertise in the field of teaching a foreign language to learners online, especially teaching English to children online and Afrikaans to adults.

Danielle was our son's teacher for a full year, and we couldn't have asked for more.
Danielle had a lot of patience and empathy, and our son is in a much much better place thanks to his time with Danielle.
Our son was always happy to spend time with Danielle, sometimes even 3 times a week, and that tells the whole story.
Highly recommended, great teacher with a very fair price. Thank you so much!

Danielle is a supportive and professional Afrikaans teacher. Our lessons are always fun and engaging and I always thoroughly enjoy the time we spend together. Danielle takes the time to cater lessons to my interest and goals and always ensures my progress is put first. Learning Afrikaans with Danielle has been made even better by the fact that Danielle lives in South Africa which means she can explain and teach Afrikaans sayings and correct my tone of voice with expert advice and guidance which helps take my learning to another level.

Danielle is an exceptional teacher. She has been teaching English to my daughter and we are in awe about her approach. The lessons are great fun, Danielle knows exactly how to keep a child interested and motivated using plenty of tricks, props, games, and songs.
She has been very attentive to our needs and is focusing on the aspects of the language needing attention.
We are very happy to have found Danielle and I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.
