Hybre Jansen van Vuuren

Good Day

My name is Hybré Jansen van Vuuren and I am 24 years old. I am originally from South Africa, but immigrated to Canada because of the beautiful landscape and plentiful opportunities.

I am a qualified foundation phase educator who graduated in 2023. I have previous teaching experiences including diffrent ages and different abilities.

My passion is to work with children and not only teach academic skills, but life skills needed to become a competent citizen and comfortable in their own identity. 

I believe that a child has the ability to accomplish any skill with the motivation from an educator who believes in him/her and develop their self-confidence to never give up.
