Nikki Burger

Obtaining a teaching position that utilizes my passion for teaching Life Science, Mathematics, Natural Science, Technology and Life Orientation. My teaching strategy is to interact with my learners, thus enabling and ensuring that they understand and absorb the knowledge that is being taught. Discipline is essential in any learning environment; however an understanding of cultural differences, emotional intelligence and social backgrounds also plays a significant role of our understanding as educators to ensure the holistic approach to understand the differences of learners. Enthusiastic teacher with several years of experience instructing students with wide range of learning abilities. Committed to creating motivational and collaborative learning environments that encourage social and emotional growth. Strategic in blending organizational skills thorough educational background. Works well with children, parents, colleagues and supervisors.
