Hello!
I am a determined, goal oriented, playful, and optimistic artist and educator, with experience in several roles in several industries. I am a graduate of the University of Cape Town, with a BAHons in Theatre and Performance, and a strong background as an artist, performer and writer.
My most recent teaching position was as an online English educator with a small independent tutoring agency called Easy English. I taught, at most, six children throughout the week. These were one-on-one classes, which I very much enjoyed. However, I believe children learn best in small groups, and would really love to engage with students in person. They ranged in age from 4 years old, through to 11 years old. I also enjoy employing singing, storytelling and play in my lessons, so I am suited to younger learners.
In my larger professional experience, I am a freelance artist and filmmaker. I am an experienced props artist and creator (for film and television) and a graphic designer and illustrator. I enjoy creating engaging visual stories, and am interested in writing a children’s book in the near future. I also have a strong leadership background, and am an experienced and capable team member. I enjoy fostering healthy community relationships, and am committed to developing local connections.
In pursuing teaching in a foreign country, I am after sharing my skills as an educator and artist with new communities, learning about how a local community engages with their children, and hoping to come away with a better understanding of myself. I aspire to be a competent, compassionate leader in my own right, and hope to learn from my experiences as an English foreign language teacher, how to mutually learn, share, connect and communicate.
