I believe that good teaching is a combination of character, understanding, passion and the will to make a difference and succeed. My aims as an educator and also a leader is to ensure that at all times the very best learning opportunities are afforded to our kids. My other goal is to improve performance and levels of not only staff but learners as well within the school I work at. I am a passionate teacher who has very high standards, I am a people person and very respectful towards everyone I work with. My strengths in life are that I am trustworthy, reliable, sincere and always prepared. I am graduated in English as well as Physical education, Geography, Biology and Social sciences. I have achieved many statuses in teaching, acting deputy, head of grade, head of year and Head of department. I have excelled in all of these positions I have filled with distinction. I have received various awards from the schools I have taught at and am constantly developing. I am a keen sportsman and have participated in various sport codes on a very high level. I played tennis for my union and was a South African tennis champion. I was selected to represent the universities at the international student games which was held in Atlanta, Georgia unfortunately, we could not attend due to political reasons. I have played tennis, football, rugby and cricket at very high levels and have even played these sports for top clubs in London. My passion for sport has led me to manage boy’s football in the borough of Walthamstow in London in which I have won the London Cup twice, which is an extremely prestigious tournament held in England. In fact, some of the learners I have managed are playing in the EPL as professional footballers. My career goal is to make the transition from teaching to more senior leadership roles in any respective school I may transition into. My hobbies are travelling and I enjoy cultures, languages and people. Currently I am studying French and intend studying photography as well. I look forward to hearing from You soon,

Cordially
