Foundation Phase Educator
Delft South,Western Cape
Summary
With approximately 3 years of diverse experience, I possess a strong foundation in education, training, and support. As a seasoned facilitator, learner support agent, student teacher, and peer assistant learning leader, I have developed a unique blend of skills.
My experience as a Facilitator at Green Riders has equipped me to lead effective training sessions and workshops, while coordinating program activities and logistics seamlessly. Previously, as a Learner Support Agent at Year Beyond Catch-up Program, I provided academic support and guidance to learners and assisted with program implementation and evaluation.
As a Student Teacher at Jersey Farm S.P.S and Ncapai Junior Secondary School, I gained valuable teaching experience, assisting classroom instructors with lesson planning and delivery. Additionally, my role as a Peer Assistant Learning Leader at Walter Sisulu University enabled me to support peers with academic and personal development, facilitating group learning sessions and workshops.
Throughout my career, I have honed key skills in facilitation and training, academic support and guidance, program coordination and logistics, teaching and lesson planning, and peer mentoring and leadership.
