Boitumelo: South Africa: Aug 01, 2019

I am a higly motivated, self driven individual with a great passion for transforming the lives of children through good education. I have been a volunteer tutor at the Vukani ma- africa community project , teaching English and Mathamatics to underprivileged children and some of those with special needs for over 5 years; their ages range between 5 and 18. Through this initiative I was able to realise that my greatest passion lies in education. I am patient; caring; dedicated and hard working. I possess good time management skills and love to be well prepared. Through my work, I have learnt to understand children from different backgrounds with different abilities and aptitudes and have been able to change their lives by improving their self confidence and enhancing their interests in their academics. I have unique teaching techniques for different children and generally love to have any fun that involves children. In 2017 I took part in a volunteering programme in the institutional office for HIV/AIDS in the University of Johannesburg. Through this initiative I gained great communication skills as it involved alot of public speaking; hosting dialogues and educating students on safe sexual and reproductive health and rights. In this institution we were challenged greatly as it was mandatory to interact with different people. Unfortunately. I could no longer be a peer educator because in April 2019 I obtained my BA Public management and governance degree. I have good typing skills, with the knowledge of Microsoft Word; Excel; Powerpoint and general computer skills as I worked in a call centre environment doing simulations at the discovery institute. The greatest highlight of my educational career was in 2006 when I was awarded with the best reader certificate in Horizon View Primary school.
