Experience

BELLAVISTA SCHOOL

• South Africa
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Teaching Specialist

  • Sep 2018 - Present

  I teach a Grade 2 class at one of the top remedial schools in South Africa. While I am primarily responsible for broad curriculum delivery, the nature of the school simultaneously requires me to cater to each student’s specific learning difficulties. I work closely with a team of therapists to ensure that these individual needs are met. I keep close track of my student’s academic, emotional, behavioural and social progress and provide their parents with regular, detailed feedback.

Learning Tools

• Business Owner

  • Jan 2011 - Aug 2018

  Learning Tools is a wholesaler and retailer of educational games and resources. I sold products that cater for the educational needs of primary- and preprimary-aged children. My customers were mainly schools, occupational and speech therapists, and parents interested in the tuition and mental development of their children. I sourced educational products locally and internationally and personally vetted everything I sold to ensure quality and efficacy. As the owner, I was involved in all aspects of running the business, from accounting to marketing and stock management. Show less
