“As a mom of two, I have learned to keep things as creative as possible for them. With that, I aim to keep things creative at Blossom Brains. I have a lot of perseverance in my personal life and like to motivate my students to not give up, even when things get tough. 

After earning my degree in B.Ed Senior and FET phase I had the opportunity to work with children less fortunate. This truly deepened my love for children and teaching.

I love it to see students grow more confidence as they get older and see them enjoy the Cambrilearn Curriculum. Cambrilearn allows us to help each learner according to their own unique ability. It gives each child the opportunity to bloom in their own way.”

“As a teacher with over 15 years’ experience on all different curriculums, I am very passionate about effective teaching and learning techniques. I love guiding my students through the Cambridge Curriculum and watching them grasp concepts. The Curriculum is thorough and teaches a core knowledge of all subjects, especially Mathematics. It’s very rewarding to see children understand numbers. It enables them think outside of the box and apply their knowledge to new situations and not just learn to answer basic questions.

Over my years of teaching I acquired the most skills while teaching in Dubai for 5 years. During this time I attended many courses on how to teach the American Curriculum, but also learned how to engage my students and their retention of knowledge. Learning is essentially active, not passive, and most students only learn by completing tasks themselves and learn best by teaching their skills to their peers. In this way, group work is very effective as a means of actively learning. Students also need to generate new pathways in their brains, they need to link new knowledge to themselves and their environments in order to remember things.

I am an avid horse rider, hiker, animal lover and generally love being outdoors. I find it very worthwhile to be able to extend my students’ knowledge with real life examples from nature that correlate to what they are learning.”

“Knowing our students are getting the best education that suits their needs with the British curriculum on the CambriLearn platform gives me great peace of mind for the leaders of tomorrow.

As a person who enjoys popular culture, I find that I can relate to my students as well as converse with them about current trends and media. Being able to incorporate their interests into lessons help make the content more relatable and fun for all of us.

In my personal career, the most enriching experience I have ever had was working at Magalies Special School, with volunteering at Jakaranda Childrens Home coming in a close second.

My time there taught me patience and to listen. I also learned the importance of perseverance and asking for help. It also showed me what a strong team is capable of.”

I am Teacher Marianda – a qualified teacher with a B.Ed degree and 20 years of teaching experience.

As both an educator and a mom, I understand the importance of nurturing each child’s unique potential. At Blossom Brain Learning Centre, I am passionate not only about academic growth, but also about teaching kindness, gratitude, and strong values.

I truly love my students and strive to create a positive, supportive environment where every child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to thrive. My hope is that each learner will bloom into their full potential.

Education has always been very close to my heart – I have many years of teaching experience. My 4-year HOD diploma qualification has equipped me with strong leadership and educational foundations. I also have experience in remedial education, working with learners who experience learning difficulties.

Supporting children academically, especially those who need a little extra guidance, is something I truly love and feel passionate about. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child grow in confidence and begin to believe in themselves.

I have a soft heart, especially when it comes to children and animals. I believe that every child is unique, capable, and deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. Teaching is not just my job — it is my passion. I look forward to building strong foundations and helping every child shine.

I am a proud mom of two amazing kiddos who fill my life with love and so much joy. My husband and I love adventures and embracing unplanned experiences. I have a deep love for art and anything bright, beautiful and happy — and I bring that same energy into my classroom.

I hold a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree and continually invest in my professional growth. Through courses such as Brain Profiling, Brain Gym, and related brain development training, I have developed a deeper understanding of how learners absorb and retain information in different ways. This knowledge allows me to adapt my teaching approach to support various learning styles and individual needs — and this is truly where my heart overflows.

As a High School Afrikaans Second Language teacher at Blossom Brains, I am passionate about making language learning enjoyable, practical and empowering.

My goal is not only to teach a subject, but to help learners understand themselves — how they learn, why they learn the way they do, and how they can use that knowledge to succeed. I believe that when learners understand their own potential, they grow in confidence and flourish both academically and personally.
