Catherine: South Africa: Feb 01, 2019

I have a very gentle nature, but I can be stern when I need to be. I am very calm and collected, and never lose my temper, however, I would be able to handle students by using different ways of discipline, instead of intimidating them by shouting. I have very good language skills, I have always had a high level of English, and I have a lot of passion for my language. My whole life I have been correcting native English speakers, despite it not being wanted, so I believe that when it is wanted it will ignite my passion to educate. I am also a good public speaker, I did drama in school which taught me to project my voice, and to speak confidently and clearly. My experience working in the film industry has also given me the skills to work under high pressure and for long hours. I do not have experience teaching children, however, I have always thoroughly enjoyed children. I was an unprofessional babysitter for my mother's friends, I did some tutoring while I was studying, and I used to be apart of a dancing group that did children's birthday parties. I strongly believe that the combination of my skills, personality and experience would make me a very fun, and good teacher.
