It is time!!

It is time for a new adventure.
Previously almost everything I did on the internet was in the hope of making some money. That has changed. I have lived quite a bit since last I posted here. I recently read an article that said that to make money from a blog, you must find a niche market and blog for people who might be interested in this niche.
I have racked my brain and have discovered that I don't know anything about any "niche". And yet I feel quite unique and sometimes a bit of an outcast. I am almost 48 years old. I live in South Africa, I am not married, don't have any children and I work part-time as an interpreter at our local government.
It occurred to me that I might be a niche. I have a very high IQ, I studied Philosophy and Psychology and people, for some reason, find me very interesting to talk to. I was thinking over the weekend, that I might be a niche. I am therefore going to write this blog about me. I am willing to bet that only a handful of people will follow this, but I am also willing to bet that this could become very interesting. I would post stuff about my life, and perhaps some people would comment and this could perhaps lead to some very interesting discourse.
I'm signing off now, but I will keep this up and let's see where it goes.
I hope by (I don't believe in chance) some means the right people will find this and that we can share this experience together.
I am really excited right now.
Looking forward.

Life Coaching, Tutoring and Enrichment Classes in Bloemfontein

I am an experienced teacher with a BA. degree in Psychology and Philosophy as well as an Honours degree in Philosophy.
I have recently completed an intensive course in Life Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Negative Emotion Survival Strategy.

After teaching at the University (Faculty of Education) I am very happy to be back to teaching and coaching children. I am tutoring children from grades 4 to 7 during afternoons and early evenings. 

Apart from homework we do enrichment activities along the lines of the child’s interests. We also incorporate Life Coaching in the process with the aim to develop holistically well balanced young people.  
I have undergone gifted education as a child, and found the enrichment activities both stimulating and highly beneficial. These activities can include advanced studies in Biology, History, Philosophy and many more.

I charge R200 per hour and see the children at the very least twice (two hours) per week. (During exam times or test periods the hours could be increased.)
I insist on at least one home visit, and regular contact with the parents.
We have created a very small intimate work group with specialised attention and there is unfortunately limited space available. 


If you are interested please contact me at pieterhoniball@gmail.com and we can get the ball rolling.

Both Afrikaans and English speaking children are welcome!
