Paralegal and educator who delivers accurate legal work and clear communication.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a paralegal and dedicated educator with a strong commitment to empathy, accuracy, and service. In my current role, I support legal work by summarising cases, compiling court documents, and producing well-edited, gender-typed court briefs. I also handle client liaison telephonically and via email, ensuring information is clear, respectful, and timely.
Alongside my legal experience, I’ve built teaching and support experience through tutoring children in English language and literature and assisting with speech, essay, and exam preparation. I bring structured communication skills to learning, supported by DELF communication training in French and a TEFL/TESOL foundation from my 140-hour and 120-hour courses.
What motivates me is the chance to work with people and help things move forward—whether through meticulous document work or patient, motivating learning support. I bring qualities like resilience, adaptability, and emotional intelligence to every task, paired with strong time management and problem-solving.
