My education and experience
As someone who holds a degree in Bachelor of Social Science, I have always been passionate about education and have a great deal of experience in teaching and the education sector as a whole.This is certainly a path I've always had an interest in pursuing.
During my time at Comprehensive High School working as a teacher's assistant, I developed strong skills in classroom management and curriculum planning. One of my proudest accomplishments was introducing a new system where learners attended school an hour early and left an hour later than the normal school hours so that struggling pupils would receive additional attention and extra focus could be placed in learning areas which they struggled in. This resulted in the average mark for English and Mathematics( subjects that the majority of learners found difficult) increase by 19% in the first 6 months of implementation. Seeing my students thrive brought me immense joy and satisfaction.
I also have experience working as a Sunday school teacher educating kids between the ages of 5 and 12 years old about the word of God. Organizing and overseeing Sunday school and bible study lessons were just some of my duties. Other duties included developing lesson plans, assisting with fundraising events, leading children in educational activities and carried out lessons in accordance with approved religious curriculum. During my time in this position, I developed a number of skills and qualities. These include empathy, patience , active listening, respect and creativity.
Finally, during my time at the Department of Environmental Affairs ( South African government) I engaged with alot of communities, schools, companies as well as non-profit organizations doing environmental education work.
I am also TEFL(Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certified and therefore fully equipped and qualified in teaching English both online and abroad.
I look forward to hearing from you and starting our journey together.
