Hi, I’m Yolanda

Let me introduce myself:

I’m a Primary School teacher with a P.G.C.E. from London and seven years of classroom experience in leading IB World Schools in Indonesia. During my time at ACG Jakarta, I developed the English as an Additional Language (EAL) curriculum, introducing high-quality digital resources and a visual literacy programme that helped students grow in confidence and transition smoothly into English-speaking classrooms.

I also had the privilege of training with renowned educators Lynn Erikson and Lois Lanning in Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction, which completely transformed how I approach teaching and learning. As a teacher and Year 5 Curriculum Leader at Global Jaya School, I shared this approach with colleagues and students, nurturing curiosity, critical thinking and a deeper love of learning — something I continue to champion in all my education-focused ventures today.

Alongside my passion for education, I’ve explored holistic practices through international training in aromatherapy, the Spinal Flow Technique, and Qigong. More recently, I’ve been inspired by the design principles of permaculture, which promote earth care, people care and fair share — values that deeply influence how I teach, live and create.

Now based in the UK with my husband, I’m dedicated to supporting families both near and afar on their journey towards balanced, fulfilled living. Through my courses and materials, I bring together the worlds of education and wellness to help build a kinder, more connected future for children and families everywhere.

LET'S LEARN TOGETHER!

Best wishes, Yo x

"I was tutored by Yolanda during the final years of my high school education in preparation for university in the U.K. She was always incredibly supportive and available whenever I needed academic assistance. She helped me with proofreading my IB assessments and essays, and her guidance played a key role in helping me secure a scholarship. I'm truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any student"

"I studied with Ibu Yolanda as my English teacher in 2023-2024 to prepare for the IELTS test and IISMA scholarship application. The guidance I received was truly thorough and supportive. I was taught step by step until I genuinely understood the material and became confident in my abilities. Thanks to this preparation, I achieved an IELTS band score of 7. My scholarship essays were also carefully proofread and improved with detailed feedback, which helped me strengthen my writing significantly. I am grateful for the dedication and patience shown throughout the process, and I am proud to say that I was accepted into the IISMA program. I highly recommend Ibu Yolanda to anyone who is serious about improving their English and achieving academic goals."
