I am a native English-speaking graduate and a South African citizen. I have completed my degree in Social Science (Majoring in Psychology and Counselling) and my TEFL Course with The TEFL Academy and have received my TEFL certificate.
When it came to deciding what I wanted to study after high school, on my list was psychology and teaching, and I ended up choosing psychology. My reason for going into the mental health field, as cliche as it sounds, is that I wanted to make a positive difference in my family’s lives, my life, and, mainly and importantly, other people's lives. It is a choice I don't regret because it has taught me so much about mental health and created a self-awareness and self-reflection that I never thought possible. After completing my degree, I felt I needed a break, but I did not want to stop or change my main goal of making a difference, so I decided to look into teaching. Not long after I saw an online post about becoming a TEFL teacher, I was inspired and spent the rest of that day researching. The next day I applied to the TEFL Academy, the idea of becoming a TEFL Teacher has made me feel excited, motivated, and hopeful about making a difference.
Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” These words have motivated me since starting this journey of becoming a teacher. Now I know my lack of a teaching background might set me apart from other candidates, but I am passionate and driven, and when I put my mind to something, I aim to achieve it successfully. I have a genuine desire to make a difference and help improve the lives of others by teaching English and assisting students to develop, understand and enhance their knowledge, helping them build a sense of confidence and enable growth within themselves. I am optimistic that the skills, theory, and knowledge I have learnt and developed in my TEFL course, such as how to teach English, create lessons plans, and classroom management, to name a few, as well as skills I have developed in high school such as my computer skill and language and my tutoring experience will be beneficial for this position. I also know that my psychology degree will be helpful as a lot of the work included group work, creating and presenting workshops, communication and interpersonal skills, time management skill, and collaborating skills which can assist me within the classroom, working with the learner and fellow teachers as well as to help me perform well under pressure.
I look forward to incorporating all these skills in my classroom and creating exciting and engaging lessons and activities to motivate my students and help them to learn effectively.
