Graz Schmid runs Penguin Tutoring in Cape Town
Graz Schmid hails from a strong Italian upbringing although born on the South Coast of KZN. Schooling was followed by a year at the then Natal Technikon. She has been employed in secretarial roles and Human Resources for over 30 years across industries that have varied from life insurance to IT and Petroleum.
Graz joined the team in February 2009 and has taken over the Cape Town Franchise as of October 2009.
Her passion lies in working with young people – scholars & tutors alike – to see them develop and grow into young adults. Relationships are very important and thus working with clients also makes it a pleasure to go to work every day.
Graz’ s greatest personal ambition is to travel by ship to Antartica (in the summer months!) This has been on the cards since 2005 before getting involved so closely with the Penguin Team. Now this desire is that much stronger!She has been married to Alfred for 16 years. Together they raised Simon who is now married to Justine and they have given Graz & Alfred the two most wonderful grandchildren Olivia & Dominic.
For the past 15 years in the corporate environment, the staff gave Graz the title of “their Mom at Work”. This has been further refined to “nurturing penguin” which is part of Graz’s Penguin Signature.
