Hello😊 My name is Merly and I am 27 years old. I live in Johannesburg South Africa and I am a qualified educator. I have a very bubbly personality. I'm kind and I'm also very passionate teaching and learning. My hobbies are singing, dancing, watching movies and playing netbal. I love how working with children provides me the opportunity to share my knowledge and to learn from my students in return. I love to see how my students academic performance improves as well as their confidence in the subject.

Experience
Educator/ Facilitator of learning
I teach grade 6 and 7 students. On a normal academic day, I meet my students outside of the class waiting to be scanned and sanitized first thing in the morning. We than proceed to entering the class where we pray together. Our register period is normally 30 min, during this time learners settle in and pack out their stationary and proceed to reading a book while waiting for their first session to start. When it's time for Science we start off our lesson by either having an ice- breaker, brain teaser, Did you know session or we start it off of interesting experiments. That normally gets my students excited for the lesson. We teach by having discussions watching content related videos and we take down a few notes in our class work books. During break students go to the rugby field where they sit in groups while social distancing and we do play ground duty to ensure that no one gets hurt. After break we go back to class and we sanitize and scan the students again. Teaching and learning takes place up until it is time for students to go home. After school we stay for an additional 45 min, during this time I sanitize the learners desks and I prepare my lesson for the next day. I make sure my class is tidy and I get all the materials that I'm going to need for the next day.

Mathematics
Mathematics is one of my majoring subjects in Varsity. I have also taught 6th grade maths for 2 years and I loved learning with my students. I am very passionate about the subject and I always look for new ways to make my Maths class interesting. Im always searching for new methodologies in which to transfer information in a manner that it reaches the needs of my students. I reflect after every lesson, so that I can give my students the best version of me and so that I can improve my teaching skills.
