Hello,
I’m Frankie Cilliers
I’m passionate about empowering teachers globally – with heart, connection, and a touch of creativity in every step.
How I connect and collaborate
1. Growth & Transformation
I partner with teachers to unlock growth opportunities, build adaptability, and drive meaningful change in your classroom and school.
2. Purposeful Strategies
We’ll delve into the ‘why’ and ‘human’ behind technology and creativity in education, and come up with impactful strategies that align with your vision and goals.
3. Celebrating Individuality
Your unique ideas and dreams inspire me! Let’s learn from each other and create a space for shared growth and empowerment.
My story
The spark that grew: Inspiring a love for learning
I’ve always had a love for learning as a child, which naturally led me to teaching. My journey as a teacher from Johannesburg, South Africa, has been fueled by a passion for the human spirit and the constant belief in the power of teachers and students.
Now, I champion educators worldwide as a Teaching and Learning Coordinator at Kami. I’m also a keynote speaker and trainer. Whether in Dubai, London, or beyond, my mission remains the same – to connect, support, and inspire those who shape our future.
But honestly, the best part? It’s all about fostering the human connection and making sure every teacher feels seen, supported, and inspired to change the world, one student at a time.
How can I help?
Webinars & Training
Each webinar and training event I offer encourages active engagement, where teachers brainstorm innovative ideas, identify opportunities, make decisions, and develop solutions using exciting and impactful strategies.
The goal is to leave teachers feeling inspired, empowered, and equipped to transform their classrooms.
Speaking & Events
Need a speaker or trainer for your next edu-innovation or edtech event or workshop? Let’s make it happen!
With experience speaking at both local and international events, I’m here to help make your event a huge success. I always aim to leave guests excited, inspired, and ready to take action to implement strategies that make a difference.
