Jeanette Jansen van Vuuren is a South African born teacher who lives in North Brisbane, Australia and is a mother of two grown-up children. Her educational background as a qualified teacher with a further diploma in Remedial Education and over twenty years teaching experience - gained in South Africa, the UK and Australia - has given her a deep empathy and understanding for the needs of students. Working with Kindergarten to Year 11 students, with diverse backgrounds - in different subject fields as a mainstream, special needs and remedial teacher - helped her adapt her teaching strategies to meet the individual needs of students. Her teaching style includes a variety of differentiated resources and methods which she creates and develops through constant research and adapted approaches. As a children’s book author, Jeanette uses most of her spare time to continuously build upon her current teaching skills, staying up to date with the Australian Curriculum and general teaching information.
