Shireen N. Van der Merwe

Helping people break into teaching

  • 🇿🇦 Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
  • Crescent Learning Hub
  • Since 1985
  • English, Afrikaans
I started mentoring after a colleague did the same for me. Since then I've worked with 1,850 people through Crescent Learning Hub. Most of my mentees are early in their careers. A few are in their fifties and starting over, and they're some of my favorites.
