In my personal experience I feel that it’s often the case we often under sell ourselves when it comes to our experiences that we have in our different environments. I can’t describe my teaching Philosophy without talking and sharing my teaching experiences. My very diverse teaching experiences, be it the subject, age diversity, environment and even country are what has molded my teaching Philosophy. I knew from my final year in High School that all I wanted to do as an occupation was to teach. Educating in a classroom, teaching or coaching on the sports field I knew that I had to give back to the system that gave me so much. My first foray into education was when I was still studying for my B.Ed degree, I was appointed as an intern teaching Technology at Thomas College (some learners having learning disabilities). This first post taught me patience and passion for the Education Industry.

I relocated to Gauteng to finish my degree at Witwatersrand University. The next two post I would hold were at Greenside High School and Roosevelt High School. Looking back at my years spent at these schools I learnt a sense of maturity, responsibility and a sense of self-reliance and Work ethic. These traits I would grow into because I was put into positions of responsibility and accountability, I was grade subject Co-Ordinator. Thus I would design and structure the syllabus, set exams, tests and other activities used for results. Unfortunately that would be the only growth for me 5 years at Roosevelt, I was never allowed to teach Matrics. This then lead to my next teaching lesson, the Middle East.

In the Middle East I was located in Oman at a school called Sabis Choueifat School. I would blessed with teaching 6-7 year olds English and Social Sciences. Learning total independence and Self-reliance in a new country, that has a completely different culture and way of doing things to what I had grown up with. Returning to South Africa I completed an Advanced 180 hour Tefl course in Adult and Business online teaching. I taught at Curro Corps for 3 months and online a few times a week. I have learnt through all of these trials and tribulations a sense of never giving up and always rising to the occasion even if it seems impossible at the time.
In the last 8 months from September 2024 till May 2025 I have been teaching in Tripoli, Libya. This in its own right has been a very challenging and unique experience. The school Ihave worked at has lacked any real leadership and structure. Often times it has been a case of learning through trial and era. The learners have been very tough but through this I have adapted my teaching style and come up with various new methods to promote good behaviour instead of punishing learners. The learners have responded in the most postive way and have gone above and beyond to show just how incredible they can be. I have truly found a new outlook on what I am capable of when it comes to overcoming challenges that I face.

Through all my teaching experiences, opportunities and travels, I’ve found a way to clearly define who I am as a teacher and the philosophy I try to adhere to on a daily basis. My philosophy builds on the foundations of being entertaining and informative while developing as a teacher, with the ever changing landscape of technology we find ourselves in as teachers. With that being said I am resilient and will cope and thrive in any scenario that I am presented with, and will always stay away from being a chalk and talk teacher. I believe that education is fun, interactive and there for student and teacher to grow.
