What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Teaching Assistant or Educator role where I can support effective instruction, manage learner progress with accurate data, and contribute strong classroom engagement while I complete my BEd.

I’m a dedicated, adaptable education professional currently completing my Bachelor of Education (Senior & Intermediate Phase) through UNISA, with ongoing commitment to finishing my final modules. I bring over 10 years of experience across retail operations, administration, and customer service, strengthening how I communicate, stay organized, and support people in high-pressure environments.

During my teaching practice at Southcity Christian School, I designed and delivered interactive lesson plans in English, Mathematics, and Science, used differentiated teaching strategies for diverse learners, and improved student engagement through strong classroom management. I’m also experienced in data capturing and data management, including Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems, inventory and stock control, and progress tracking—so I can support educators effectively while continuing my path to becoming an educator.
