With a strong academic background and extensive teaching experience, I am a dedicated and goal-driven professional in the field of education. Holding a Bachelor of Arts Honors in Setswana and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications, I am currently pursuing a Masters of African Languages and Linguistics to further enhance my expertise. Throughout my 5 years as a teacher at both school and tertiary level, I have honed my skills in delivering effective instruction and fostering an engaging learning environment. As a Lecturer, I have developed an ability to teach through the medium of Setswana, allowing me to connect with students on a deeper level. Passionate about community engagement, I strive to make a positive impact beyond the classroom. I continuously explore innovative ways to motivate students, challenging them to deepen their knowledge and understanding while providing appropriate feedback, encouragement, and assistance. This approach has consistently yielded exceptional results from my students. Having a sound understanding of research and scholarly activities, I possess the willingness to publish in accredited journals and actively participate in research projects. My commitment to continuous learning is complemented by excellent verbal and written communication skills, superior listening abilities, and exceptional presentation skills. Thriving under pressure, I excel in planning and organizing tasks effectively. Whether working independently or within a team setting, I constantly seek opportunities to improve teaching methods and expand my knowledge base. Time-management is one of my strengths, ensuring that deadlines are met without compromising quality. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) enhances my ability to create engaging learning materials for students. My attention to detail coupled with impeccable organizational skills allows for seamless execution of administrative responsibilities. As an enthusiastic teaching professional with diverse skills and qualifications, I am committed to creating an inspiring educational experience for students while contributing positively to the field of education through research and community engagement.
