Gqeberha, South Africa
I design AI-powered education systems that help schools, educators, and EdTech businesses improve efficiency, scale their programmes, and deliver better learning outcomes. I am an Academic Coordinator and Acting Academic Manager with over 10 years of experience in international education, currently leading English language programmes for over 900 students and mentoring teams of 30+ teachers in a bilingual academic environment. Alongside my academic leadership experience, I hold an MBA focused on strategic leadership and the integration of Artificial Intelligence into education systems. My research explored how AI can be used to build scalable, data-driven learning organisations. What I build: • Custom GPT tools for schools, tutors, and education businesses • AI-powered lesson planning and curriculum generation systems • Automated IELTS writing feedback and assessment systems • Full curriculum frameworks aligned to CEFR and IELTS standards • Academic systems for reporting, assessment, and programme coordination Proven impact: • Coordinated academic programmes across 900+ students • Mentored and developed 30+ teachers to improve instructional quality • Built digital academic systems that improved reporting efficiency by 30% • Led curriculum alignment across multiple grade levels using international frameworks What makes me different: Most AI solutions in education fail because they are not designed by educators. I combine: • Academic leadership experience (programme coordination & teacher development) • Deep curriculum expertise (CEFR & IELTS alignment) • Business strategy (MBA-level thinking) • Practical AI system design This means you don’t just get an AI tool — you get a structured system that works in real educational environments. If you're looking to integrate AI into your teaching, build scalable learning systems, or improve academic efficiency, I can help you design and implement the right solution.
