Johannesburg
Summary
I am Farhiyya Aida Shaibu, a passionate and dedicated future educator who strives to create inclusive and inspiring spaces where every learner can reach their full potential. Guided by the belief that "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle", I aim to ignite curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning. I value differentiated instruction, recognizing that one size does not fit all and adapt my teaching to meet the unique needs of each learner. With strong classroom management, tech integration, and a learner-centred approach, I am committed to nurturing confident, critical thinkers. Beyond the classroom, I am deeply involved in community work, volunteering and advocating for social change. I see education as more than just lessons within four walls, it's a ripple effect that extends into communities, shaping future leaders, inspiring kindness and creating spaces where every voice matters.
