Good day I am Ms. M
My home town is called Cape Town. Some interesting facts is that I live near to one of the seven wonders of the world called "Table Mountain". I love the English Language. I grew up speaking two of our official languages but can also do South African Sign Language so that makes me speak three languages. I love kids and I love teaching. I taught special needs children. Now if you don't know what that is, it's teaching children with different disabilities. I love animals and we have two cats. My passion is to teach people skills such as the Afrikaans and English language so they can better understand it and make it easy to understand and grasp the language.
Me as a Teacher
I am very motivated to get started and would like to show that I can add value to your life. I have experience working online with learners and have my TEFL certificate. I have experience working in mainstream and in special needs. I also studied childhood psychology.
I would describe myself as someone who is a well rounded person. I would like to put these characteristics to use.
My lessons & teaching style
My desire is not just about focusing on academics but on all other levels of the child/ adolescent's life. It needs to be holistic in a sense that you focus on their well-being, education, people skills, health and mental state of being a well rounded person to be around. My approach will be a soft touch to not being to overbearing but firm enough so that the student can relate to the environment that we put them in. I will do my utmost best to always try and put the child/adult's needs first and then follow on how they perform. I teach both young and older students. My teaching style is student centered and will be to facilitate and students can assume a much more active role in learning.
