Abigail: South Africa: Feb 25, 2019

I have a BA degree(psychology major), which benefits me in understanding people.
After graduating from University, I worked as a facilitator in high schools for an after school program.
We focused on improving leadership skills within high schools. It gave me skills to enhance kids' leadership qualities.
I also volunteered at YMCA in Cape Town South Africa. I facilitated an after school program for impoverished primary school kids. I helped them with homework and also did social development
programs with them. I learned how to help the kids academically.
I started teaching ESL online in 2013. This is also the year I got a 60 hour TEFL certificate.
I taught ESL to kids and adults from all over the world.
At the end of 2014, I worked in a school in Cape Town, South Africa as a class teacher.
I taught grade 3 (9 and 10 years old), for 3 months which gave me experience in teaching groups of children face to face.
I have been teaching ESL online at my current company since 2015. In 2017, I got an additional 40 hour TEYL certificate. It gave me more insight into teaching ESL to young learners.
I currently teach ESL to kids of all ages and adults online.
It has made me more creative as a teacher because I have to keep the kids' attention online. Even though it is challenging sometimes, it is lots of fun.
I would like to teach ESL face to face because I have been teaching ESL online for a few years now.
