My name is Kritina Maharaj and I am from Durban, South Africa. I currently hold a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Science (Cum Laude) from the University of South Africa and a National Diploma in Video Technology from The Durban University of Technology. I also possess a TEFL certificate from The TEFL Academy, where I completed 168 hours Level 5 Diploma.
During my time at Independent Media, I was able to hone my instructional skills by leading sessions where I taught interns the nuances of video editing. This experience enhanced my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively, tailoring the learning process to individual needs, and fostering an engaging educational environment. Moreover, it solidified my belief in the importance of adaptable and innovative teaching methodologies, a mindset I am eager to bring to your programme.
In addition to my video editing mentorship role, I have completed 10 hours of classroom teaching practice, providing me with first-hand experience in delivering engaging and comprehensive lessons. This hands-on experience, combined with my dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment, has equipped me with the skills necessary to effectively engage and inspire students from diverse backgrounds.
I am a sociable and adaptable individual capable of handling diverse situations with precision. I thrive in fast-paced, multicultural environments and am adept at working under pressure. My strong, spontaneous, and determined personality is reflective of my commitment to seeking and embracing the challenges life offers.
I have always been captivated by the richness of Korean culture. From its deep- rooted traditions to the dynamic modernity seen in its entertainment and technological advancements, Korea has always held a special place in my heart.
I'm passionate about teaching and believe that Korea offers a vibrant and rewarding environment for educators. The dedication of Korean students to their studies and the emphasis placed on education resonate deeply with me. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to their educational journey.
Moreover, I see teaching in Korea as a fantastic chance for cultural exchange. I'm eager to immerse myself in Korean society, learn the language, and engage with the local community. This experience will not only allow me to grow personally but also professionally by gaining valuable cross-cultural communication skills. Ultimately, teaching in Korea aligns perfectly with my career aspirations. I am excited about the prospect of embracing a new culture, contributing to the education system and fostering mutual understanding between cultures.
My ideal location would be Seoul and the age group that I would like to teach is kindergarten.
