Hello, my name is Vanessa and I am a Zimbabwean based in South Africa. I recently graduated with a degree in Social Work from the University of Fort Hare, where I also gained experience as a part-time tutor. Additionally, I taught grade 6 and 7 students at Southernwood Primary School, which helped me develop my ability to work with diverse students and manage larger classes. While my initial goal was to become a social worker, my teaching experiences have reignited my passion for education. I'm excited to pursue a career as an English tutor, where I can inspire and make a positive impact on young minds. I'm a lifelong learner and enjoy reading, studying, and acquiring new knowledge. As a seasoned educator with three years of experience, I possess a strong background in teaching English and life skills to diverse age groups.

My teaching experience includes:

- University tutoring: I tutored university students at the University of Fort Hare for a year, honing my ability to facilitate academic growth and understanding among adult learners.
- Primary school teaching: For two years, I taught English and life skills to grade 6 and 7 students at Southernwood Primary School, developing my expertise in creating engaging lesson plans and managing classrooms.
- Certification: I hold a certification as a teacher of foreign languages, demonstrating my proficiency in teaching English as a second language.

My teaching methodology is centered around creating a supportive and interactive learning environment, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each student. I emphasize effective communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to empower students to reach their full potential.
