About

I am Liezl Heideman and I have been teaching for 26 years in a variety of settings from Reception, Year 1, to Art. My passion in life is simple and is teaching, running, and art. I am a very enthusiastic and hands-on teacher who loves experimenting with different methods of teaching.

I have taught in South Africa, Botswana, and Nigeria which has given me a great deal of experience. I paint murals and share my talent when events take place at school for example Book Day, Christmas Production, International Days, and many more. I consider myself as a very caring teacher who always puts the needs of the students first and will go the extra mile at all times.
