Pieter van der Merwe
Web Development Lecturer
Hi! I’m Pieter. I’m a developer who loves teaching. For the last few years I have taught people to build websites in classrooms and online, and I have helped many students land their first developer jobs. I am also a keen small business owner based in Stellenbosch.
Years in the Classroom
Before joining Boekrak, Pieter lectured at a Western Cape college and ran a small web studio in Stellenbosch for six years. Most recently he led the web development short courses at Boekrak as lead lecturer and helped plan the syllabus. Of the students who finished his class, most went on to find work or freelance clients within a year.
I have since focused on bringing my classroom experience online. In 2021 I launched my Build Websites with React: Free Starter Course, which has become one of our most popular courses. I was also voted Boekrak Lecturer of the Year 2025.Education
I have spent years working out how to teach technical skills well in a classroom, and I am glad to finally share what I have learned with you.
I can say with confidence that my courses are practical, honest and built for South African students on a budget.
