Peer and Ministry PartnerKnowing Donna’s absolute gift and talent to teach and her genuine love and compassion for learners, I would 100%, without any hesitation, recommend her as an Intermediate Phase Tutor & Child Counsellor. She masters the ability to convey and share feelings, ideas, instructions, etc. very clearly and very effectively. She really does walk the extra mile with her learners.
