Ministry of Education (United Arab emirates) - Abu Dhabi
I am a passionate and seasoned South African international English teacher with experience
supporting learners aged 13–18 in developing English language vocabulary, reading
comprehension, and writing skills. I am adept in all four areas of language learning—speaking,
listening, reading, and writing—and have taught the South African English curriculum for three
years, in addition to spending the past two years teaching in the United Arab Emirates. My
teaching philosophy is learner-centred, with a strong focus on creating a safe, inclusive, and
supportive learning environment that empowers learners to reach their full potential through
effective scaffolding and differentiated instruction. I view learners as well-rounded individuals
who actively construct meaning in the English language, and I am committed to nurturing
confidence, critical thinking, and a love for learning. Beyond the classroom, I have organised
educational events and actively contributed as a member of the school sports.
