KAELYNNE LEIGH JANSEN VAN NIEUWENHUIZEN
Genius Instructor – Genius Premium Tuition
Stellenbosch, Western Cape
(082) - 829 - 2978-I have always had a passion for helping people and solving problems and I continuously
try to expand my skills through my own practical experiences and research. I am eager
to learn and I am open to tackling a range of tasks to a high degree of quality without
compromising deadlines. I am a strong team player but also work well independently. I
am determined to complete a task as quickly as possible because I do not believe in late
or unfinished work. I am diligent and can expand my thinking skills to come up with new
exciting ideas. I am an open-minded individual who always tries to see the same task
from different perspectives before approaching it. I am open to criticism and am prepared
to work on my weaknesses to ensure that I am constantly improving my talents and
abilities. I can easily motivate myself despite the difficulty of a task and I can channel all
my thoughts and ideas toward a particular situation to make sure I have given 100% of
myself and my efforts.
