In 2015 I started volunteering at New Season Foundation. This particular foundation is a non-profit organisation aimed at improving the lives of the youth in South Africa. My role at the foundation was to assist my students with their numeracy and literacy skills during an afterschool programme.
I tutored students between grades R to 5. Each day I would plan and present lessons based on the work they were being taught at school. The majority of my students struggled with the English language as they were mainly Afrikaans speaking. My lessons therefore largely revolved around teaching them to understand the language effectively.
I always tried to make my lessons relatable and interesting. At the end of each week I would create a challenge and divide the class into two teams, the winning team would win a prize and at the end of each month I would create a quiz and the student who scored the highest marks wins a prize. Apart from being a tutor, I also played a supportive role in the lives of my students as I ensured that I understood and catered to their individual learning needs.
Being a university student, a volunteer tutor, a paralegal, a legal secretary and a personal assistant proved me to be a fast learner, resilient, and able to adapt to any situation. I am great at interacting with people, I have a great attitude and I have the ability to work well in a team. I am an all-rounder and I'm great at multitasking. I am attentive, meticulous, creative and diligent.
I am certain that I will be a dynamic addition to your team and I look forward to discussing the position with you further.
