Shayna's got an incredibly positive and enthusiastic personality and is simply so personable. I would take her as my language tutor any day, as she will make you feel at ease and encourage a great deal throughout your learning process!
Shayna taught me first year English literature and she shows so much passion. Not only does she give students motivation to work hard, she shows interest in how well they do. She's truly amazing.
Shayna is an extremely professional and charismatic teacher, with great interpersonal skills. I worked with her in London and her students thought incredibly highly of her - she is able to bring English to life!

Shayna helped me as ESL teacher to improve my overall English level, but more importantly she uplifted my own learning spirit.
Shayna is not afraid to put her own comformity aside for her students and she is willing to sarfice a lot for her students. Her passionate for the students is blessing and I have to say those who had the opportunity be her students were lucky.
Shayna is always trying to involve all students in her learning process and see even the smallest progress to motivate them not to stop. She always encourage and try to find the best way to reach students goals.
Shayna is one of the most inspiring person I ever met. Do I recommend Shayna? I would put my hand on fire for her.Shayna was my head of English for two and a half years in London. If you are looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, sets high standards and genuinely cares about the success of her students, then you're looking for Shayna. From Shakespeare to modern literature via the Gothic, Shayna is a fantastic teacher and it was a privilege to teach alongside her and learn from her myself.
I've taken a TESL certificate program together with Shayna and other students. During this program she has always very nice, active, committed to her tasks and very responsible and organized about them.
I highly recommend Shayna as a teacher!Shayna taught me English in some of the most important years of my life at secondary school, and she is the reason I chose to take English lit as an a-level! She has the most incredible way of connecting with students and engaging them in the subject at hand, for that I will be forever grateful because she not only educated me but emotionally she was my friend and someone I could trust. She truly is an incredible teacher I thank her for everything!
Shayna helped me a lot when i needed to help with my english class. She has enough patience explaining contents and she is so funny with your didactic classes. I recommend her absolutely
Shayna has a great passion and enthusiasm for teaching! She is able to explain language in simple and understandable terms so students can understand. I full heartedly support Shayna and recommend her as a tutor!
Shayna taught me for a couple of years and is the one teacher I will remeber the most- she helped me through not only my education, but also with emotional support which I think as a teacher must come hand in hand. I was inspired when in the class with Shayna as I could feel how passionate she was about it.
While Shayna was here in Cape Town, South Africa, I was her pastor. All one needed to do to see who Shayna was or is, was just watching her with my kids. My two daughters and son.
We add to that, that she played my favourite sport, rugby, and I was sold.
All kidding aside, Shayna has a very high work ethic and her word is sacrosanct, her yes is yes and her no is no. She has also traveled the world and has experience that those that do not can not have.
She is a rare individual and someone whom my two daughters gladly claim as a possitive influence in their lives. So does my son, oddly.
To not take Shayna on whatever team she is applying, would be a loss to the team as she is selfless and sacrificial. I can assure you that while she was in our ministry team, she was put in situations that she would not have thought even existed, but always stayed true, honest and loyal.
I would recommend Shayna, for anything she applies for as she is not flippant or frivolous - if she is applying, she has done due diligence and knows she can do it.
All the Best

Silver Lining Youth Ministries.Kind, warm hearted and sociable teacher. Gets on so well with both my kids. They adore her. Ages 7 and 4. Very bubbly and interesting. I can assure you never a dull moment with this wonderful lady.
Having lived with Shayna whilst she was teaching in Kingston I can speak first hand of her commitment to her craft. Marking and lesson plans were always the priority when she returned from work, and the gifts & kind messages she has received from both parents and children over the years is a testament to how well loved she is by her students. I would highly recommend her to any student.
I have known Shayna over 20 years. She is an honest and considerate person. I am blessed to have her in my life. Shayna celebrates everyone achievements how ever big or little they are. She will support you no matter what and will believe in you when you may doubt yourself.
