Profile
I am a highly dedicated and passionate teacher who has 5 years
teaching experience. I have taught English as a First Additional
Language to learners between Grade 4-6. Some of my
achievements are producing learners who have done well in
competitions like Spelling Bee, Public Speaking and Social
Sciences Olympiad. I am very passionate about teaching children and it makes me proud to
know that I play a part in making learners global citizens that will change the world for the
better. I believe that learners should be developed holistically. My goal in every lesson is to
impart knowledge to learners academically and in real life situations.
