Subjects taught

    I am fluent in Afrikaans, and have experience working with patients in Afrikaans, providing speech therapy to them in Afrikaans, which requires a high level of understanding of the language. I resided in an Afrikaans community for 1 year whilst doing my community service and spoke Afrikaans there daily. I matriculated with a distinction in Afrikaans.
