Teacher Assistant and Virtual Assistant focused on learners, support, and admin.
What I'm looking for
I currently work as a Teacher Assistant at Laugh Learn in Gauteng, and I previously supported classes at Greenside primary school. I type and prepare paperwork, print or collect printing, create slides for lessons, and assist learners that might be struggling. When the head teacher was absent, I stepped in to teach the class.
Alongside teaching support, I’ve worked as a Virtual Assistant for private clients, handling typing documents, diary management, minute taking, and marketing work. I’ve used tools like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Google Drive/Docs, Teams, Trello, Canva, Confluence, and the HubSpot (CRM Tool), and I also supported bookkeeping using SAGE, WhatsApp bussiness, and social media. I’m also pursuing certifications including TEFL, a Digital Marketing certificate, and First Aid.
