Her students seated in front of her, she found she relished the feeling of helping others learn. Granted, her students were stuffed animals at the time and her class was in her home, but Rentia discovered her love of teaching early in life. Her first “real” teaching job took her to Scotland in 2006, where she taught at a summer school to students from Italy and Spain. Returning to South Africa she continued her teaching career by joining the University of the Free State as a lecturer in Communication Science. She focused her teaching on access programmes, creating curriculums that incorporated support for ESL students. Alongside this teaching, she travelled to Dubai, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Belgium as an EFL teacher, building strong connections with EFL programmes in Singapore. In her free time she is entertained by her two Scottish terriers, actively involved in talking nonsense at book club and dabbles in art.
