I will complete my degree at the end of this year and I will be studying honours part-time in 2020. I’m am studying FET/ Senior phase however I have more experience working with intermediate phase.
At present I am working as an Au Pair but I have experience working with and teaching learners of all ages. My experience has given me strong time management, communication and organisational skills. My teachers, educators and employers have commended me for my willingness to participate and my dedication to helping out wherever possible. I enjoy working with others, providing quality education to learners is my absolute passion and I believe my strong communication skills, organisational skills, passion and willingness to work hard will ensure that I can meet the expectations of a teacher.
