I am a professionally qualified teacher with vast experience as an English teacher; university lecturer; and school principal. I have good teaching, lecturing, training and assessment skills (schools and tertiary institutions) and very passionate about teaching. Moreover, I firmly believe that teaching is not a job, but a calling.
Degrees: Bachelor of Education Master of Education Doctorate in Education (PhD)
Certificates
Tefl certification Tesol certification
Teaching experience: English First Additional Language (Grades -4-6; and 7-9); Mathematics and Science (Grades 4-6); Social Sciences (Grades 6-9); Economic and Management Sciences (Grades 7-8).
University lecturing experience: Education modules to pre-service teachers (Year levels 1-4); B Ed Honours modules (Education leadership and management). Training of pre-service teachers and in-service training of school principals.
Good planning is a pre-requisite for successful teaching. Lessons are conducted through the use of English as the medium of instruction at school and university level.
Interactive teaching strategies, where students are active participants, supported with instructional materials and adjustment of teaching methods according to learners'/students' individual learning styles (visual, kinaesthetic and auditory).
My teaching philosophy is anchored in Vygotsky's Constructivist theory, where learners/students are led and guided to construct their own knowledge.
Available from Monday to Friday, but flexible and can easily adapt to students' time slots.
