MEET OUR TEAM

"As Executive Manager of Teachers Plus, I have the privilege of leading a passionate team dedicated to shaping the future of Mathematics education in South Africa. Our focus goes beyond content knowledge, we aim to develop confident, reflective, and innovative teachers who can truly connect with their learners. In a rapidly changing educational landscape, it is essential that we equip our students with both strong mathematical understanding and the ability to teach in ways that are engaging, relevant, and meaningful. It is incredibly rewarding to see our students grow into educators who will inspire curiosity, build confidence, and make a lasting impact in classrooms and communities"

"I've made good strides from humble beginnings as a graduate teacher myself. Now I have the privilege of working and engaging closely with students whose aim is to become exceptional Maths teachers. Education is not the same as it was 20 years ago. We are dealing with a generation that listens with its eyes and thinks with feeling and I love that Teachers Plus understands that and develops the students to create inspiring lessons that can make maths fun and exciting. The future is looking bright and I can’t wait for South African schools to be filled with our graduates."

"At Teachers Plus, I am proud to be part of a team committed to supporting students as they grow into confident and capable Mathematics teachers. We ensure they are not only well-qualified but also passionate educators, dedicated to building a better South Africa for future generations. It is truly rewarding to see them develop into teachers who will transform schools and communities, one lesson at a time"

“Mathematics remains a mystery to many who were taught by a teacher who was not properly qualified and who did not really understand the subject themselves. The young teachers emerging from the Teachers Plus programme are able to break this cycle, equipped with sound knowledge and effective teaching methods. They are eager to bring their skills and enthusiasm into our schools.”

"Teachers Plus provides the opportunity for aspiring teachers to develop a love and passion for Mathematics that they otherwise may not have recognized.
The students are afforded the time to develop and grow their mathematical knowledge and skills in a safe and nurturing environment under the guidance of experienced Maths teachers.
Through the broad program offered at Teachers Plus, our students emerge as well-rounded young professionals equipped to cope with the demands that teaching Mathematics requires."

"Maths is a struggle for many, but also a powerful tool for bringing hope, building resilience and addressing inequality. The key to unlocking this power lies with teachers who encourage critical thinking and embrace mistakes as learning opportunities. At Teachers Plus I feel privileged to support the growth of future mathematics teachers who combine strong subject knowledge with empathy and an understanding of the lived realities of South African youth. Our students graduate not only as excellent educators, but as agents of hope and change in their communities."

“I am delighted to be part of this gifted and motivated Teachers Plus team. Working with the Teachers Plus student teachers has been truly rewarding; each one of them embodies talent, dedication, and an infectious youthful enthusiasm. It is an honour to contribute to mentoring and shaping these remarkable individuals for their future career of nurturing young minds in mathematics.”

​"After spending 30 years in classrooms at many different schools, in South Africa and overseas, it is a privilege to be able to share some of my experience with an inspired group of future educators. What is especially rewarding is the enthusiasm, care and innovation that the Teachers Plus students show as they prepare to become highly qualified Mathematics teachers."
