Dear Director,

I’m a graduate from the University of Pretoria with a degree in BCom Financial Sciences. Following on from this I took and completed my 120-hour TEFL Certificate with TEFL Professional and Development Institute. During that time, I was also teaching English and Mathematics at Ebenezer Excellence Academy to students from the age of 9 to 14 years – a job I enjoyed immensely! I enjoy singing dancing and hiking on my free time.

I currently tutor children from the age of 8 to 18 years old at an orphanage home, I assist them to improve on their academic performance. I have been teaching English as a second language and Mathematics at a School called Ebenezer Excellence Academy. When I first started the position as a Teacher, I worked with an average of 15 students per class. As my role continued, my classes grew. Now, I teach 20 to 25 students per class period. In each of these classes, I worked with students with beginning to advanced skills in English, helping them achieve better scores on their assignments. On average, my students' scores on assignments and tests have risen by a full letter grade with my support.

One of the many skills that make me qualified for this position is my ability to learn languages. Currently, I have learned Zulu, Sesotho, Sepedi, Tsonga, Xhosa and Venda and I hope to learn more as I continue my professional career. My ability to learn these languages gives me a unique perspective when I teach my students because I think about learning their languages myself. I also can help students by teaching in their languages, helping them understand the words they need and want in English. This skill means I can teach students with diverse backgrounds. My teaching methodology is a learner-centered approach in which learners participate in the design, execution, and evaluation of their lessons in learner-centered classrooms. I allow the learners to participate in these choices, I give up more control and accountability. Additionally, I have learned how to transition from a directive to a collaborative leadership style. I allow learners to be free to walk around the classroom, work in small groups, and utilize centers.

Thank you for your consideration and time as you read through this letter and consider me for the English Teacher with TEFL certification role. I look forward to learning more details about the position and the organizations I would become part of in the role.

Sincerely,
Dineo Mogwera
