What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation in e-learning and allow for professional growth.

I am an instructional designer with over 8 years of dedicated experience in creating technologically-driven learning solutions for both youth and adults. As the founder of an education company, I successfully launched initiatives that focus on enhancing learning through strategic implementation of technological tools and methodologies. My expertise in adult learning theories and project management has allowed me to lead numerous successful projects across Gauteng and other provinces, ensuring that learners achieve their educational goals.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with educators to develop interactive courses that significantly improve learner competencies. Notably, I spearheaded the development of an onboarding course for new teachers, which bridged the gap between university training and classroom application, resulting in a 20% increase in teacher competencies. My commitment to educational excellence is further demonstrated by my ability to implement robust assessment strategies that have led to remarkable pass rates in IGCSE and year 6 examinations.

As I continue my journey in education, I am passionate about leveraging e-learning technology to transform educational experiences and professional development. I believe in the power of innovative learning solutions to create impactful changes in the educational landscape.
