I am responding to the request and question posed, whether or not I would like to work during the end of year months, the answer is yes definitely, I am very excited and looking forward to this opportunity.
I think I am the best fit for the job because of my academic background and humble attitude. I also communicate well with friends, family, and new acquaintances. I am easy to approach and always try to be of service to my fellow neighbour. My good sociable skills will satisfy new clients and help keep regular ones, not only clients but my colleagues and employer as well.
I have outstanding leadership skills but can also be a team player when required. I’m always open to advice because I have a viewpoint of “you’re never too old to learn”, so I improve every day. I’m quite a fast learner and thrive in pressuring circumstances. I’m always punctual, hardworking, and very organized.

Teaching Environment Experienced:
Tuscany Glen Primary School, Stratford Primary School, Bluedowns Primary School, Forest Heights Primary School, and Eersterivier Secondary School are public/ state schools. They are all situated in low-income communities, which consist of people from various backgrounds, cultures, languages, and religions. It is always a pleasure teaching at schools where you can gain a lot of knowledge about various cultures and beliefs. The teaching environments invite all learners to have an equal opportunity to learn and gain crucial knowledge needed to secure a successful future, regardless of the challenges, such as poverty, faced within the community. Various teaching styles and methods were adopted and used to attain maximum teaching and learning. Whiteboards and projectors were used to make teaching and learning more practical, interesting, and fun. Computer Sessions were also given to learners for educational purposes. Classes were slightly overcrowded with classrooms with up to 45 learners each. It was a tremendous pleasure working at all five schools, and I truly appreciate the opportunities that were given. I had tremendously developed my Professional Career as a Pedagogist, and aim to always improve and develop my pedagogical skills further.
