Why Hester is a Superprof
I’ve had the pleasure of learning from Hester through, “our local teacher development group” , and she truly stands out as an exceptional educator.

How we know each other
I first connected with Hester when “I was looking for support with Afrikaans phonics for my foundation phase learners”. From our very first interaction, her warmth, professionalism, and clear passion for teaching were evident.

What I love about Hester’s teaching style
Student-centred and patient: Hester listens carefully to each learner’s needs and adapts her explanations until the concept clicks.

Structured yet flexible: Her lessons are well planned, with clear objectives, but she’s also quick to pivot when a student needs extra support or wants to explore a topic further.

Encouraging and respectful: She creates a safe space where mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, which builds confidence quickly.

Practical and relatable: Whether she’s teaching language, maths, or life skills, Hester uses real-life examples that make learning meaningful—especially for young children and teens.

A standout experience
One session that really stands out was when “I was struggling to explain Afrikaans sounds to my Grade 1 class, and Hester walked me through a playful, multisensory approach using songs and movement. The next day, my learners were buzzing with excitement and finally ‘getting it’.”. That moment showed me not just her expertise, but her genuine care for both teachers and learners.

Final thought
Hester is the kind of teacher who inspires others to become better educators themselves. I highly recommend her to any student or teacher looking for support that is knowledgeable, kind, and truly effective.
