Summary

Passionate and dynamic educator with a strong academic foundation in Psychology, Counseling, and Education. Currently completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with a focus on Life Orientation, supported by a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Social Science and a Higher Certificate in Counseling and Communication Skills. I bring over six years of international and online teaching experience, having worked with diverse learners across global curricula including American Common Core, Cambridge, and IB frameworks.


My teaching approach blends emotional intelligence, learner-centered strategies, and strong communication—aimed at fostering inclusive, respectful, and growth-driven classrooms. I am adept in curriculum design, digital tools, and academic support, and deeply committed to helping students build both academic skills and self-awareness. With a deep respect for the holistic development of each learner, I am ready to contribute meaningfully to a school community that values integrity, innovation, and educational excellence.
