About Zynoe

A coach who truly understands teenagers

I've spent over 25 years in the classroom, on sports fields and in coaching rooms — working directly with teenagers through some of their most challenging moments.

My approach combines the best of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) with warm, grounded mentoring that only comes from decades of genuine experience with young people.

My BSc. background and 20+ years teaching the sciences, gives me a deep understanding of the difficulties learners experience when learning these and other subjects and therefore I know exactly how to guide them to succeed.

Every teenager I work with is unique, and my coaching is tailored entirely to them — their strengths, their challenges, their goals.

I believe that every learner deserves to feel capable, confident and supported and that every child can learn and succeed.

Testimonials

Lives and futures transformed

During my Grade 12 year — a time filled with pressure, uncertainty and important decisions — Ms. Zynoe became far more than a teacher or mentor. She invested in the person I was becoming, not just the student sitting in front of her. She helped me build habits of thought that I continue to carry with me today. Her guidance during a critical season of my life left a lasting mark, and for that I will always be grateful.

— E. Faro, current student

Mrs Patience never judged me because of my circumstances. She saw potential in me when I struggled to see it myself. Through her guidance I learnt to manage my emotions, develop a more positive mindset and believe in my ability to learn. The impact of her coaching went far beyond improving my grades — she helped me become a stronger, more confident person. Her support still carries me now through my college studies.

— Siphosethu, college student & former high school student

What set Zynoe apart is that she substantiated her encouraging words with actions — equipping me with practical tools rather than simply telling me what to do. Perhaps her greatest gift is her ability to recognise one's potential before they recognise it in themselves. Her belief in me influenced my studies, my personal growth, and the way I view my future. The impact she has had on my life is immeasurable.

— Bronwyn Unthank, qualified teacher & former student

Mrs Patience has a unique ability to deal with the varied and dynamic dispositions of young adults. She went beyond the requirements of her position, investing in each student more than what was demanded of her. I can confidently say that the skills and strategies learnt from Mrs Patience assisted me throughout my academic studies and built a strong foundation for conducting research. Being one of her students was one of the most enjoyable periods of my life.

— Dr Elana Leah Ryklief, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Stellenbosch

We found Zynoe to coach Edward and walk alongside him through his matric year. I'm so grateful to her for helping him get motivated and in the right frame of mind, teaching him study skills and how to manage his time — exactly what we needed for peace of mind that he was supported and on track. As parents we could focus on keeping Edward healthy, happy and safe. Zynoe made a huge difference!

— Edward's Mom and Dad, parents of matric student
