Leandri Kriel

Teaching is my passion and not just my profession. I am a good leader, passionate, motivated, energetic and creative. I work with respect and integrity towards others. I believe teaching and learning is the most valuable part of our community.

We have the opportunity to shape young minds. Teaching allows me to work with hearts and minds and teaching allows me to invest in children so that they will become empowered world changers. I dream of a healthy society achieved by inculcating healthy values so that children are equipped with wisdom.

Every learner is unique and has the power to make the “impossible” possible. I believe a good teacher does not only focus on compliance but also on the relationships between young minds.
