Helena is an amazing teacher. I have worked with her for more than 4 years, and I have seen students from kindergarten to middle school light up when she is around. She is professional and puts effort into everything she does. She gets along well with her coworkers and, like me, has remained friends with many of them even though we no longer all work together . That should tell you a lot about her character and the kind of person she is. Anybody would be lucky to have Helena in their life. I am!

I had the privilege of working with Helena Erasmus for two years at Fluentella, where she served as Head English Teacher for my online language academy. During that time, she consistently demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and a strong work ethic. I confidently recommended Helena as a valuable asset to any organization. She has the skills to build strong educational relationships, the ability to manage administrative functions effectively, and the commitment to deliver great results.

Helena looked after my toddlers for about a year. She is extremely trustworthy, patient, caring and fun. She is also very intelligent and creative, and always puts a lot of thought and effort into activities that help children learn, grow and discover new things. She connects naturally with children and creates a safe, positive and stimulating environment. She is dependable, responsible & genuinely invested in the children in her care. I can recommend her without hesitation.

I am pleased to provide this personal reference for Helena Erasmus, with whom I had the pleasure of working alongside at Joy English Academy during 2025. During the time we worked together, I found Helena to be a highly responsible, dependable and caring person. She is organised, professional and takes pride in everything she does. Having worked with Helena, I have also seen her ability to communicate effectively and build positive relationships with others. She is patient and approachable.
