About Me

I am a fun loving individual who enjoys the outdoors and hiking - even though I can tend to be a bit clumsy.
I love to help others understand different concepts and reach their full potential within a subject.
Reading is a huge passion of mine, I enjoy opening a book and finding myself in a new world entirely.

Education

IIE MSA, Bachelor of Social Sciences, Double Major in Psychology and Criminology (Minor in Child and Youth Development), 3.2 GPA, graduated April 2016.

UNISA, Bachelor of Arts(Hons) Counselling Psychology, 3.2GPA, graduated April 2020.

Grand Canyon University (correspondence), Master of Science in Mental Health and Wellness, currently holding a 4.0GPA, not yet graduated.

Experience / Qualifications

While in university I worked doing promotions and being a brand ambassador for different companies part time.
I also worked as a floor manager for a few months at one of the on-campus food vendors before they closed.

While finishing my last year of studies I went on to volunteer at a preschool and help out as an assistant teacher during my holidays and days off, after which I taught at that same preschool for 3 more years.

I then moved on to doing ABA therapy (behavioral therapy) with children with Autism and related disorders for 3 years, working my way up to team lead and even spending a year of that time working in Saudi Arabia doing the same thing.

When back in South Africa I moved onto tutoring, giving Reading therapy, confidence building, and facilitating children of varying ages through their homeschooling curriculum while also creating other learning content to expand their knowledge even more and build their confidence in their work.

Good awareness of children's challenges.

The teacher is up to the task. Thank you.
Learn more about God as you go through your day. Learn about who he is, Who he created you to be and how you can work each day to better understand the bible and live in the way God called and created us to live. Daily Devotions, Q&A and confidence building (because you cannot love others the way you are called to, if you cannot first love yourself) and more.
Sometimes we doubt ourselves and what we are capable of. That's human. However, I want you to be able to see yourself for who you really are and what you bring to the table. Confidence building is important for all age groups. It can help a child of 10 years old be able to come out of their shell, see what they are capable of, and find their own voice. It can do the same for a teenager who has experienced trauma and now does not know where they fit, how they move forward or who they truly are anymore. It can help all people, in all walks of life. Through building one's confidence and finding their own voice and who they are, they get the beautiful chance to experience life to the fullest without letting fear and anxiety of what others will think hold them back.
My aim is to aid one in building confidence, knowledge and understanding of all things Mathematics. Once you can feel confident in your abilities and knowledge of the subject, you will start realize that it can be fun too. I know, I sound corny, but trust me. I will help to build your skill in the area/s of Mathematics that you find challenging, by first determining what areas you are struggling in through small activities, worksheets, and exercises, then, starting at the foundation of those particular areas, help you be able to understand and eventually, independently work through the tests, sums, equations and more that that area of Mathematics entails.
In these sessions I will help you to gain a better understanding of the content you are learning, as well as, help you to understand your assignment topics and how best to answer them by aiding you in building your critical thinking and essay writing abilities so that you can achieve the best possible results. I also provide proofreading and study skills.

The Art Of Clear Speaking, Reading and Pronounciation
Enhancing reading and writing capabilities: Writing helps students learn how language works, particularly sentence structure. Through the help of reading materials available, they can learn how to create sentences and punctuate their work properly. Allow students to develop creative and critical thinking skills: Students learn to use their imagination to develop a perspective on a specific message and its relation to the outside environment. Students can express their emotions, ideas and thoughts through writing. Improve language development: Basic writing skills help students learn how to speak eloquently by developing their vocabularies and improving their sentence construction. Students learn to spell words correctly, connect these words to form sentences and eventually build a group of sentences.

Primary Tutoring - Maths, Reading Creative Writing, Entrance Exam Preparation.
I am a fully qualified primary school teacher based in Falkirk with over 15 years of experience particularly in the upper primary level. If your child needs additional input in English or Maths to help them reinforce their classroom learning or if they are looking to extend themselves to work at Third Level in preparation for High School or Entrance Exams, then I am here to help. After our initial ‘get to know you’ session, I will build a program of learning that will support your child in all identified areas, helping them to feel more confident with concepts or skills they have found tricky to master as well as challenge them to reach their full potential moving towards higher level learning. My goal is to create supportive and engaging session where students feel motivated to explore, make mistakes in a safe environment and ultimately, experience success, helping to boost their confidence in any classroom or examination setting. Mathematics is often seen as a problem area for many students and their ‘tricky’ subject. With every student that identifies this as an area for development, my focus is on building a strong foundation in maths reinforcing key concepts, using key problem-solving strategies as well as developing critical thinking skills. Through the use of real-world, tangible examples, I will help students develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and how they can be applied in their own lives. This work will be followed up with targeted areas for further practice, consolidation and/or additional challenge. During my writing sessions, I will guide students in developing their practical writing skills, i.e. grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and organisation of points/plot. Whilst encouraging creativity throughout, I will ensure there are multiple opportunities for students to express themselves through various writing genres. We will also work on editing and reviewing with feedback sessions built in to help consolidate the techniques introduced. I strongly believe that reading is the key to unlocking a whole world of knowledge and imagination. In my reading sessions, I will focus on developing essential skills such as phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocab. Through a variety of activities, including reading aloud, guided reading, discussion and analysis, I will help students improve their reading abilities, expand their literary horizons, and hopefully, foster a lifelong love for books. I look forward to working with you.

Spanish online lessons with native spanish teacher for adults and teenagers
I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)! I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying. Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together. All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level. Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like. Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.

Grammar, reading and pronunciation of French language for foreigners
Recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from Pole Superieur Conservatory of Paris and Sorbonne University, I would like to teach French to foreigners (especially those whose native language is Albanian or English), living or working in Paris. I also have a DELF diploma in the French language (the one recognized by the state to study in any French university). My goal is to keep students challenged and progressing while their living in the country. I assign homework after every session and provide periodic progress reports. I can teach from English or Albanian towards French
