Growing up in a bilingual family with English and Afrikaans, I naturally gravitated towards English and later discovered my passion for teaching it as a second language. My students often describe me as enthusiastic, goal-driven, and responsible. I embrace challenges and transform them into opportunities. I strongly believe in the reciprocal nature of teaching and learning.
In 2020, I obtained my TEFL Level 5 Certificate from i-to-i TEFL, solidifying my commitment to online teaching. To further enhance my skills, I completed additional relevant courses at Alison College, equipping me with effective tools to deliver productive lessons.
With over three years of online teaching experience, I have successfully worked with diverse students across different levels, age groups, cultures, and platforms. I have overcome various challenges that arise in an online teaching environment, ensuring a smooth and enriching learning journey for my students.

我生长在一个英语和南非荷兰语的双语家庭，自然而然地对英语产生了兴趣，后来发现了自己对英语作为第二语言教学的热情。我的学生经常形容我热情、目标明确、负责任。我接受挑战并将其转化为机遇。我坚信教学和学习是互惠互利的。
2020 年，我获得了 i-to-i TEFL 颁发的 TEFL 5 级证书，这巩固了我对在线教学的承诺。为了进一步提高我的技能，我在艾莉森学院完成了额外的相关课程，为我提供了有效的工具来提供高效的课程。
凭借三年多的在线教学经验，我成功地与不同水平、年龄组、文化和平台的不同学生合作。我克服了在线教学环境中出现的各种挑战，确保我的学生拥有顺畅而丰富的学习之旅。

In 2020, I achieved my Level 5 TEFL Certificate. In the subsequent year, I furthered my education by obtaining diplomas in Teaching Skills for Educators, Basic English Grammar, and International Tourism with a focus on English Language. Additionally, I acquired certificates in various areas, including Beginner Level 1 English - Foundations, Vocabulary and Pronunciation, Social English Skills, and ESL Teaching.

During my academic pursuits, I concurrently engaged in freelance teaching and volunteered at Nevy's Language School in Canada. My time at Nevy's allowed me to instruct students of diverse ages, cultures, proficiency levels, and backgrounds. This experience profoundly shaped my understanding of individual student requirements, objectives, and aspirations. I personalized each lesson to cater to the unique needs of every student, ensuring that they achieved optimal outcomes.

Inspired by my journey, I recently embarked on an enriching teaching endeavor in parts of South Africa. There, I had the privilege of imparting basic English language skills to farmers, their workers, and the workers' children. This experience not only broadened my horizons as an educator but also highlighted the practical importance of English in both work and daily life.

Upon returning from this enlightening experience, I made the decision to join a dedicated teaching institution. This step reflects my commitment to personal and professional growth as an educator. My goal is to continue making a positive impact on students' lives by helping them achieve their English language objectives.

2020 年，我获得了 5 级 TEFL 证书。第二年，我进一步深造，获得了教师教学技能、基础英语语法和国际旅游文凭，重点是英语语言。此外，我还获得了各个领域的证书，包括初级 1 级英语 - 基础、词汇和发音、社交英语技能和 ESL 教学。

在攻读学业期间，我同时从事自由职业教学，并在加拿大的 Nevy 语言学校做志愿者。在 Nevy 的时间让我能够指导不同年龄、文化、熟练程度和背景的学生。这段经历深刻地塑造了我对个别学生要求、目标和抱负的理解。我对每节课进行个性化设计，以满足每个学生的独特需求，确保他们取得最佳成果。

受到这次旅行的启发，我最近在南非部分地区开始了一项内容丰富的教学工作。在那里，我有幸向农民、他们的工人和工人的孩子传授基本的英语语言技能。这次经历不仅开阔了我作为教育工作者的视野，还强调了英语在工作和日常生活中的实际重要性。

从这次启发性的经历回来后，我决定加入一家专门的教学机构。这一步反映了我作为教育工作者对个人和职业成长的承诺。我的目标是通过帮助学生实现他们的英语语言目标，继续对他们的生活产生积极影响。
