Introduction

I am a Foundation Phase teacher with five years of experience across kindergarten and primary levels. I hold a Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase, a Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Psychology, a National Diploma in Early Childhood Development, and a TEFL certificate. In my teaching roles in South Africa, I have taught English, Mathematics, Life Skills, and Physical Education, alongside coordinating extra-mural programmes including swimming, dance, and ball skills. My background in educational psychology informs my approach to planning structured daily lessons and activities tailored to young learners' developmental needs. I am seeking a full-time or online teaching role in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, or Oman, and am available to start from October 2026.
