What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values education and supports professional growth.

I am a highly organized and reliable professional with a Bachelor of Education and an Honours Degree in Special Needs Education. Currently, I teach Grade 3 at Teneo School, where I am responsible for planning and delivering engaging lessons in Mathematics and English. My role also includes developing programs of assessment and lesson plans, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to thrive academically.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have been promoted to Home Language Subject Leader, overseeing the English and Afrikaans Home Language curriculum. My experience extends beyond the classroom, as I have also worked as an office administrator, where I honed my skills in managing diverse tasks and maintaining accurate records. I am eager to leverage my administrative skills and dedicated work ethic in a dynamic office environment.
