We have known Kenau for 5 years, our daughter adores her and the time they spend together. Kenau has developed wonderful and innovative techniques to teach our daughter about fractions, time telling and made Afrikaans so much more fun and explorative. Kenau has worked at our daughter's pace with such patience, gentleness and kindness that we have seen great improvement. She takes her student's needs very seriously. She also provides honest and accurate progress feedback to us on a regular basis.

Her communication style is clear, friendly, and responsive, and she adapts her tone well depending on the context and audience.
