Most of my work life I have worked in a service industry where I have been in direct communication with people. I have built effective communication and technical skills. I am compassionate and tenacious. I am wanting to make a positive impact and difference in people's day to day activities. In the last 5 years I have worked in a fast-paced customer services environment making sure that I keep up to date with trends and changes in the industry to keep the customers happy. With everything being said and spread on social media fast, I had to make sure I follow protocol and rules and had to adapt within the minute.

I have also been much involved with our young adults and little kids at church over the years because my husband served as the Sunday school and Youth Priest. We have for the past 2 years been responsible for our general community at church also. I am kindhearted, trustworthy, reliable, flexible, and friendly.

I have been a tutor at the University of the Western Cape for the third year Industrial Psychology students. I had assisted students to complete assignments and learned the students new concepts. Also, studying lesson plans and assigned new projects, reviewing textbooks to prepare for a lesson. Answering questions from students on different topics.

I had opted to do honours in Industrial Psychology because human behaviour had always intrigued me. I constantly analyse people's actions, finding myself question why? This might lead to the question why I have decided to go in to teaching. I have always wanted to be a teacher. After I have completed school, I applied to study education but after a year switched to Industrial Psychology and life took me in a different direction. This is the time now wanting to follow up on this childhood dream.

Your job opportunities posting for the position prompted my interest. After reading the job description and having the education and experience for the position I felt this is a great opportunity for me to expand my knowledge and career. I’m a unique candidate that brings a Global Studies Degree and Peace Corps experience along with excellent communication and multitasking skills.

I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Global Studies with a Minor in Communication. In my junior year in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Norway in Oslo, Norway. This experience along with my studies sparked my interest in finding a career while experiencing other cultures. Shortly after graduating from college, I found my way into the Peace Corps. In the Peace Corp I attended a 9-week training course learning to speak and understand Bemba, Zambian culture, and teaching fish farming to local villagers. During my time in the Peace Corps, I cultivated skills in different teaching methods, keeping learners engaged over a long period of time and developing creative teaching techniques. I soon realized that my passion was to find a career teaching. The development and fine-tuning of my education and skills I’ve learned can be brought into my teaching methods in an English teaching classroom.

Experience: As a high school student, I worked extensively with the school's nursery. I would assist in organising running activities, organising important daily routines such as meal-times and nap-times. I would co-ordinate with the senior teacher to assist with running of the nursery and resolving any issues that may arise. I would also be responsible for a number of students at a time, ensuring their safety throughout the day and this provided me excellent experience communicating with young children.

Personality: I am a passionate, diligent and motivated individual. From a young age I have had an unrivalled love for languages. I was fortunate to attend a bilingual nursery where I learnt English and Spanish side-by-side which awakened a deeper desire to investigate other languages and the cultures to which they are a key. Upon graduating university I decided to pursue a career that would enable me to share my passion for languages and I am dedicated to imparting my knowledge of the English language to those who wish to learn while learning more about and immersing myself in new and captivating cultures. I thrive in working in team environments and seeing people reach their goals whether large or small and it would be an honour to help students reach their English language aims.

Skills: I am affable, confident, encouraging and outgoing which I believe are key traits for a teacher to possess. I have experience organising large groups of people. As the captain of my university's lacrosse team, I was responsible for the preparation and execution of training sessions which required time management skills, dedication, effort, time and attention. I believe that I have the focus and commitment required to effectively live up to expectations required of a successful English teacher.

I am an effective communicator, with 5 months experience teaching in a primary school ages 11-13. I love children, I am patient and outspoken. I am currently a lecturer teaching Economics in a Business College

I am a hardworking, reliable and responsible qualified teacher who enjoy working with children. On various occasions from 2020-2021, I worked as a substitute teacher at a local primary school from as little as just 1 day to two whole weeks of substituting.
Through this experience I learned how to interact with various learners as well as how to implement inclusive education for learners who need it. I taught in both English Home Language as well as Afrikaans Home Language classes, and therefore have experience in teaching all subjects of a grade in English, along with teaching English as a second language to the Afrikaans classes.
My skills include Microsoft Office, effective classroom management as well as time management and being adaptable to different situations that may arise in the classroom or school environment.

I am a passionate, enigmatic individual with a patient demeanour and a confident, friendly attitude. I love taking on a challenge and using my creativity and problem-solving skills to find a solution. Overall, I am a people person that aims to make other happy, I will go out of my way to make sure that people are happy and that they understand a situation entirely. I am passionate about bringing the language of English to people and being a part of peoples' personal and educational developments. In regards to experience, I have a years experience of tutoring in English and other core subjects, due to tutoring my younger sister, who is 9 years old. I use the techniques that I have learned from my Level 5 TEFL Qualification to assist me in my tutoring, as my qualification gives me the skills necessary to educate to a high standard.

When I was in school, I was also a peer mentor for a younger student for half of a year; we would meet weekly so that I could tutor him in any piece of work that he found difficult. I have, for multiple years, also worked with my mum, by assisting her in running her childminding business. I create stimulating and fun educational activities for the children (ages 2-4) which promote and supplement their educational growth.

To summarise, I am a logical, forward-thinking and creative person that performs to a high standard in high pressure environments, using a meticulous approach to ensure that the right actions are implemented in varying scenarios.

I have been teaching in Thailand since the 22nd of November 2021, my contract ends on the 4th of March. I love teaching, learning about a foreign culture and embracing the that culture. I am creative, outgoing, intelligent, I love travelling and I can work very well in a team. I tend to get involved in extra-curricular activities and I find it easy to build good relationships with students and colleagues. I am incredibly friendly, approachable, professional and emotionally intelligent. My experience at summer camp and in Thailand has taught me how to teach creatively, even with minimal materials. I have also developed excellent organisation, time-management skills and communication skills.

A professional teacher of English, confident and passionate hard worker. That’s what I was told by the Special Educational Needs Department. I am a motivated and qualified individual with six years experience working with children and young adults in an educational setting. Four years ago I decided that I would get a degree and become a teacher of English as a Second Language. Last year I achieved that goal. I promised myself that I would gain every qualification needed to become the best possible teacher and I have a TEFL to prove my dedication.
Now I am prepared to take on a brand new adventure but this time regarding my professional career.
