Nokwazi: South Africa: Jul 31, 2019

My name is Nokwazi Mkhize, I am a 27 year old Supply chain professional. I first became interested in
teaching when I was helping my niece and nephew do their homework. My passion for teaching was
ignited when I would watch them go from confusion to mastering a concept. Seeing the difference
patience and attention makes made me realise I enjoy working with children.
My degree and subsequent work experience in supply chain and logistics, this field has taught me
the importance of process and preparedness. While I was a student the University of KwaZulu-Natal,
I had a stint as a tutor in University. Tutoring other students grew my passion and enthusiasm for teaching.
It was during this time that I gained an appreciation of the importance of valuing each learner as an
individual, as well as part of a community.
I aim to give children as many learning opportunities and experiences as possible in order to engage,
motivate and improve their command of the English language.
Learning about the cultural similarities and differences between South Africa and China (Asia)
especially the learning culture have influenced my decision to apply for this opportunity.
