Independent Contractor Teaching English Online
Krugersdorp
Summary
I am a qualified English teacher with a four year (BEd) degree, from the University of Johannesburg. I am a caring, understanding, hardworking, adaptable and meticulous person, who does work or activities to the very best of my abilities. The English language as well as every aspect that encompasses it, intrigues me, and I will love to carry this across to every student I will teach. I have a deep love for teaching, and I believe I am able to easily communicate with and build lasting relationships. Most importantly it gives me tremendous satisfaction to see a student in my care flourish and grow.
