Lethu: South Africa: Aug 01, 2022

My name is Lethuxolo Ndalenhle Thomo, but most people call me ‘Lethu’. I am from South Africa. I recently completed my postgraduate studies in Political Science with an undergraduate degree in Humanities, majoring in English Studies and Political Science. I also recently completed my 120-hour TEFL certification in the hopes that I can begin teaching English abroad. I would like to begin my teaching career abroad is because I would like to experience different cultures and learn all about them. I have never left my home country and would like to learn about the world while helping students with the English language. I would also like to pass on things that I have learned in my culture to other citizens and leave a lasting impression as an English teacher. My mother was also an English teacher and she inspired me to help where I am good, and I am good at English, just like her.

I believe I am well-equipped for this position because I have excellent social skills and establish good relationships with those around me. I love to help and find peace in making the lives of those around me, especially my students, a little better. With my knowledge of the English language I can navigate the different and complex ways in which it is used and conceptualise it in a way that students can understand. I make myself available to every and any student who may need extra help after classes and find joy in seeing them succeed because their success is my success. I am a very energetic and caring person and I strive to give my all in everything that I do. I like to complete my tasks ahead of time and remain prepared.
