Dr Liezel is an exceptionally warm, patient, and approachable educator. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to adapt her approach according to the individual needs of each student. She does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to education and takes the time to understand how each learner learns best. Her background and experience as a learning facilitator further strengthen her ability to identify different learning needs and adapt her teaching style accordingly. This allows her to build trusting relationships with students and create an environment in which they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and working through concepts at their own pace.
