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.

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!

I am a young professional who's greatest strengths are his patience, great work ethic, and strong communication skills. I have always wanted to work and live abroad because of my love of people and cultures. I have a high motivation to help others and see them succeed so I feel like teaching young english learners would be a great opritunity for me. My exerience in teaching is limted but every day in my current role as a professional news journalist I see how important language is every day. I feel like I can provide a positive learning experience to my students and I am excited to see what the future may hold.

I have a rich background in teaching, including several years assisting in the running of a successful dance school where I honed my ability to engage and motivate students of all ages. My passion for education goes beyond the classroom—I believe in creating a supportive, dynamic learning environment that encourages students to achieve their full potential. I am known for my enthusiasm, adaptability, and genuine care for others success, always going above and beyond to ensure people feel confident and supported. With a strong set of communication and organisational skills, I bring creativity and dedication to every teaching opportunity. As well as being fluent in English, I aim to begin learning the language of my students right away to better understand and communicate with them.
