What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and values innovative teaching methods.

I am a dynamic and qualified ESL teacher with international online teaching experience, holding a 120-hour TEFL certification and a Bachelor of Education (Senior & FET Phase). My passion lies in learner-centered teaching, where I focus on fostering communication, confidence, and intercultural understanding among my students. I am adaptable, professional, and committed to excellence in education, ensuring that each lesson is tailored to meet the diverse needs of my learners.

Currently, I teach General and Business English to international adult learners at EFTeach English South Africa, where I design CEFR-aligned lesson plans and provide constructive feedback on grammar, speaking, and fluency. My previous experiences as a student teacher have equipped me with the skills to create engaging lesson materials and manage classroom assessments effectively. I am also registered with the South African Council for Educators (SACE), which underscores my commitment to maintaining high educational standards.
