Experience
2018-01-15 - 2019-12-15
Au Pair/Tutor

My duties as an Au Pair and Tutor to two young girls included daily homework and tutoring sessions. Each day would include an hour to two hours of homework and revision, as well as extra work provided by myself when time allowed. The two young girls had a home language of Afrikaans, which allowed me to help them improve their English language skills.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language - i-to-i TEFL

I have obtained a certification from the i-to-i TELF Academy for a 200Hour course in teaching English as a foreign language. A large portion of this course dealt with teaching students, including young learners, on a one-on-one basis using techniques specific to the student's preferences.
