I have completed my degree in Medical Sciences at the University of KwaZulu Natal and the module I majored in is Anatomy.
I am a very agile hardworking individual who enjoys taking on new challenges. I’m a people person and have been gifted with excellent communication skills both verbally and written, which allows me to communicate effectively with different levels of management. I take criticism and feedback as educational building blocks. I am excited about being part of the team and I have faith that my attributes will make a difference in the company. My qualities have been able to help me navigate through the tricky waters of life. whether it was challenges at school, my hardworking streak got me through my degree, or at work, my responsible nature and love for serving others made sure that whichever situation I tackled, was done to the my best of my ability.
I am enthusiastic young lady that love taking on new challenges.I just came back home after spending almost a year in the Netherlands as an Au pair and I'm ready to take on my next adventure!
I worked in the Netherlands as an Au pair in the year of 2018.I took care of 3 children between the ages of 7-12. It was a challenging 12 months being out of my comfort zone, and having to adapt to a whole new cultural environment, but if I were to go back in time I wouldn't change a single thing! Through my job I learnt how to be responsible, the lives of 3 people were in my care, punctual, if Im late the kids will be late, and how to serve people from the heart:) During my stay I was also able to travel(solo) to my top 10 European countries,Spain, Italy and Croatia to name a few.My travel experiences opened up a whole new world for me. I learned about different cultures, Histories and way of life! The openness and general friendliness of the Europeans made me feel right at home.
This will be a chance to see if a teaching career is really what i should be pursuing. I love new and challenging experiences because that is one of the ways you can grow yourself. Being outside of your comfort zone helps you to gain new qualities and gives you a chance to polish up on existing ones. Teaching abroad will also allow me to broaden my mind about various cultures and other ways of living.

TEFL-Certified, adaptable college graduate seeking employment as an English teacher in Cheonan, South Korea. Experienced in tutoring conversational English to kindergarteners and adults, and also in editing English papers for foreign-exchange students from both Japanese and Korean backgrounds. Worked at POLY Magnet for one year and am excited for a new opportunity in March, 2019.

I hold an education and arts double degree (I am a licensed teacher) as well as a graduate diploma in TESOL (I've almost completed my MA – TESOL). I have teaching experience which consists of 15 weeks of full-time teaching as part of my teaching degree, 6 months of permanent part-time teaching (delivering the South Australian curriculum) and limited relief/supply teaching.

My strengths include my confidence in the classroom, my ability to set engaging lessons, my strong theoretical knowledge, and being genuinely passionate about teaching. I believe in creating positive rapport with students, fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment, and believe in compassionate approaches to teaching.

My chronological age aside, I am very friendly, warm, enthusiastic, and look and feel much younger than “the number” next to my name. I am a very creative person (I have performed in musicals, written plays, sing, dance, etc.). I also genuinely enjoy inspiring young minds and making learning fun.

As an on-call nanny (and a devoted Aunt to young nephews), I take time to answer children’s questions with respect and honesty, and create fun and imaginative games to share with them. Children are learning even as they play, so I consider time spent with them as valuable experience for us both.

I have many good things to offer as an instructor and I hope I am given the opportunity to prove as such. 🙂
