What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to inspire and educate students while fostering a positive learning environment.

I am a dedicated and engaging Online English Teacher with over 7 years of experience in tutoring and language instruction for both children and adults. My journey in education has been driven by a strong passion for fostering student confidence and improving English language skills through personalized lessons. I hold a 120-Hour TEFL certificate, which has equipped me with the necessary skills to deliver effective online lessons.

Currently, I work with EF Education First, where I deliver online English lessons to individual and group learners. My approach includes preparing post-class reports and providing constructive feedback to support learner progress. Previously, I have worked as a fieldworker for Statistics South Africa, where I collected demographic data, and as a school tutor, where I developed foundational literacy and numeracy skills in Grade 1–8 learners. My diverse experience in education has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of student needs and effective teaching strategies.
