What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic teaching environment that fosters growth and collaboration.

I am a highly motivated and bubbly individual with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, specializing in Psychology and Sociology. I thrive in environments that promote growth and learning, and I believe in actively contributing to my role rather than remaining stagnant. My experience spans teaching English in China and online, totaling four years.

Having taught at a renowned elementary school in Hangzhou, China, I have developed strong communication and interpersonal skills, enabling me to connect with students and colleagues alike. Currently, I am teaching ESL online while based in South Africa, and I am eager to bring my skills and passion for education to a new opportunity where I can continue to grow and add value.
