Melissa S
Tutor in Observatory, Cape Town • 35 years old
Bio
I am sensitive, caring and deeply concerned with the personal growth of myself and others. I enjoy spending time exploring my ideas, values and creativity while encouraging others to do the same.
I spent a year creating and running Grade 12 English workshops on a volunteer basis at the school I had worked at previously, to ensure that my past learners passed (which they did). I spent the last five years not just teaching but also mentoring and counselling many of the learners, through various difficulties.

My Proudest
Achievements
• I passed my yellow grading in Kung Fu, which involved a three hour physical, and many months of gruelling training.
