Summary
I am fluent in both English and Afrikaans. I have a positive and motivated outlook on life and enjoy it to the fullest. I am very driven and energetic which means I will always give my very best when given a task to complete. Becoming a teacher has always been one of my biggest dreams which has now become a reality. A teacher is someone who is there to impact the lives of their students in a positive manner and in a healthy environment. As a teacher I strive to do my utmost best to support, to love and to educate the learners that I will be teaching. Inclusivity is an especially important aspect to me, and I am driven to create an environment where all students are included and that they always feel welcome when entering my classroom. I am currently a grade 8-10 English FAL teacher at Highschool Warmbad.
