Motto: “I would like to teach early years children to love books and read.”
Dzingi is a committed early years reading mentor passionate about fostering helping young children build a strong foundation in reading and literacy. He brings patience, kindness, and a natural rapport to each session, making reading feel both fun and meaningful. His approach focuses on building confidence and curiosity, helping children unlock the joy of stories and language from an early age.

"A book is a doorway; every page is a step toward a bigger world than the one you started in"
"When you publish books, you are setting caged birds free. They can go wherever they please. They can fly over the highest walls and across vast distances, settling in the mansions of the gentry, in farmsteads and labourers’ cottages alike. You never know whom those words will reach, whose hearts will succumb to their sweet songs.’" — There are Rivers in the Sky by "Elif Shafak")
