My name is Thabiso Ntshangase, and I am an enthusiastic and dedicated English as a Second Language ESL teacher with one year of experience helping students improve their English skills. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce in accounting degree and a TEFL certificate, which has equipped me with the knowledge to create engaging and effective lesson plans for learners of all ages and levels.

I have a passion for teaching, and I thrive on seeing my students grow in confidence and ability, whether it's in speaking, listening, reading, or writing. My teaching style focuses on a student-centered approach, where I tailor lessons to meet individual needs and learning goals. I believe in making learning fun, interactive, and meaningful through real-life conversations, multimedia resources, and creative activities.

Having worked with elementary, kindergarten, and middle school students, I have developed a deep understanding of ESL learners' challenges and how to support them in overcoming them. I am also patient, flexible, and culturally sensitive, which helps me create a positive and inclusive classroom environment.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, energy, and love for language learning to your team and help students achieve their goals in mastering English.

I have seven years' experience teaching languages at high school level. I majored in English and Psychology for my bachelor's degree and also have a Master's degree in Psychology. I have worked with young people for most of my working life, first as a teacher and more recently working in health research.
I adapt very easily to new environments and have lived with people from different backgrounds and cultures. I'm always keen to learn about other cultures. I love traveling and see this as another opportunity to do so.

For over 2 years I have thought coding and robotics to learners, ages 5 to 15. This made me understand children better and sparked a love for children and teaching. Helping the kids discover new things is what I love to do. I like to expirence new adventures and meeting new people. My colleagues and I had held training sessions for teachers in the field of coding and robotics. I had left this job due to issues with salary payments but I hold no grudges and im eager to get back into the field of teaching

My qualifications include a professional TEFL Certificates and a BA degree in early childhood education. My professional experience includes two years as an English teacher in a primary school in my native country of South Africa, a year of TEFL in Shenzhen, China and five years of online english teaching.

As a teacher and trainer, I have overseen the instruction of over a hundred students and personally trained five instructors. This role demanded the regular creation of learning materials, the teaching of lessons, workshops and intensive courses, the preparation of progress reports and delivery of in-house testing and instructor evaluations.

Dedication, self motivation, and organisation were required to achieve a Frist Class Honours degree in BA Architecture from The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University as a joint course.

Being part of Manchester and Salford University Air Squadron required high levels of discipline, confidence, and integrity in order to pass the interview, selection and fitness tests required to join. In this role I won a £10,000 award for an overseas biking expedition in Canada which I planned and presented to the RAF, this required a good attention to detail, a great deal of planning and collaboration.

Saving for, organising and completing a two week climate change volunteer placement in Indonesia when I was 16 required confidence to push myself outside my comfort zone. Teaching school children climate change lessons also required confidence, calm and an ability to build rapport.

Having played rugby for 15 years and coached younger players, I learnt skills of team work, leadership and recognising individuals’ strengths and development needs.

Finally receiving the prestigious, international nomination for the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Bronze Medal Award from Manchester School of Architecture demonstrates a passion and motivation for doing the best job I can do – whatever I do.

I am an individual with a strong technical background in computer science with a plethora of customer service experience. I have held multiple part time jobs throughout my time in university, and have ample of experience working in teams in different projects.

My name is Thabo Malinga. I have experience in freelancing as well as private equity. My strengths when considering experience is without doubt my ability to learn quickly. I am a fast learner, and in fact enjoy learning and being out of my comfort zone. My personality type tends to get along with majority of people. None of us are perfect, and thus, I may clash with others, but in the large part I am very sociable and tend to get along with people. I have an array of skills from my previous work, ranging from research to presentation. I believe that these skills as well as the others I have in my repertoire will make me a good teacher.

I was a substitute teacher for a year at Reddford House Northcliff from April 2023 to March 2024. From April- August 2024, Icompleted a 4-month maternity post at St Theresa's

My biggest strength as a teacher is my versatility to suit my students needs. Teaching 400 different students online for 1+ years has taught me to be very adaptable. Figuring out different ways to connect with my students and then to facilitate their learning is essential and something that I do very well.
My first teaching experience was as a volunteer in kindergartens and elementary schools in Vietnam, from the first lesson I taught I knew that I wanted to pursue teaching english as a career. I loved every second of my time teaching in Vietnam and was surprised at how quickly I gained my students trust and engagement to the topics of the day, despite having zero teacher training or practice. I have since had my training and practice and am ready to help inspire young learners!
