Numeric is a South African non-profit organization focused on improving math skills in under-resourced communities. They train coaches, often university students or recent graduates, to teach learners in Grades 6 and 7 through a structured program that uses creative, interactive teaching methods. I was one of the university students trained as a Numeric Coach, where I had the privilege of teaching Grade 7 learners mathematics. Through this role, I helped students develop problem-solving skills, gain confidence in math, and cultivate a positive attitude towards learning.

Reading

One of my favorite hobbies is reading. I love getting lost in a good book, as it allows me to explore different worlds, ideas, and perspectives. Reading not only expands my knowledge but also helps me unwind and disconnect from everyday stress. I enjoy a variety of genres, from fiction and biographies to educational books, as each offers unique insights and inspiration. For me, reading is more than just a pastime; it’s a way to keep learning and growing continuously.
