Suzanne van der Merwe runs Penguin Tutoring Winelands
Suzanne is a high school teacher as well as an author of high school textbooks. She is the Subject Head in Consumer Studies at a local high school and has had vast teaching experience in Consumer Studies/Home Economics (HG and SG), for the past 15 years. She has written the Grade 7—9 Technology Text & Workbook range as well as Consumer Studies Grade 10 and 11. She is presently writing the Grade 12 Consumer Studies Text & Workbook. Education is her absolute passion.
Suzanne has recently purchased the Winelands area franchise for Penguin Tutoring and has been operating since the end of July 2009. She is highly driven and motivated and thoroughly enjoys a challenge!
Suzanne has no children and loves travelling. She has been very fortunate to travel to many parts of the globe!
If she had her life over…she would still be a teacher!
Suzanne says: “I absolutely love my job and thrive in an educational environment.”
“My best bit about being part of Penguin Tutoring is being able to share my passion for education with so many other people, who are in need of further assistance. I feel so strongly about the importance of education, and now Penguin Tutoring allows me to get involved on another level.”
It is this kind of passion for education and learning that we look for in all our members, from franchise holders like Suzanne to tutors, administrators, parents and learners! Extra lessons can be such a pleasure when they come from this kind of environment.
Welcome to Penguin Tutoring, Suzanne, it looks like you’ll fit right in!
