ABOUT ME

I achieved the following EFL qualification on the 14th of July 2023:

Qualifi Level 5 (168 hour) Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) (The TEFL Academy) (RQF).  This qualification is accredited, regulated by Ofqual and awarded by Qualifi.

 

I have also finished my Bachelor Degree of Education (early Childhood Development:  Foundation Phase) in 2022 through the University of South Africa (UNISA).

 

I enjoy helping children to understand and grasp concepts.  I like interactive, talkative, and creative classes and I’ve seen that the children like it too and learn a lot when they can take actively part in the class.

 

My passion is to help children develop and to prepare them in all assets of life to be able to survive in the business and adult world, to be successful, independent, be able to set your goals and work towards them, to be self-motivated, self-driven, flexible, innovative, proper planning and time management, to be confident and reliable, to work hard and to set a high standard for themselves.

 

I enjoy being creative, reading and the outdoors.  I work well in a team and on my own.  I am organized and stick to schedules and deadlines.  I love order and neatness and is always well prepared and on time.

 

My strong communication skills coupled with my ability to lead through adversity have seen me complete countless deadlines on time.  I can communicate well at all levels and ages.

 

One thing that I’ve learned is that you always can improve on your skills.  You need to reflect on what you’ve done (lessons given and/or personal an all areas of life) and see in what areas you can better yourself.  And then change accordingly, for the better.  Always improve to become better than you were before.
HOBBIES

My family and I love the outdoors like hiking, fishing, camping and traveling through our beautiful country.  I like reading, swimming, working in my garden, and music.  I play the guitar and piano (is a little bit rusted though) and I love singing.  I love the farm life and working with and caring for the animals.  We also like to watch a good movie together, playing board games and spending time together.
