Education
TEFL Certification - Home Schooling - Impak Curriculum
I homeschooled my youngest child on the Impak curriculum for a year due to him being pre maturely diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. After realizing that he merely required one on one tutoring and personal attention. This allowed me to interact with him on a personal level, and I learned that each individual is different and requires one on one interaction in order to succeed and benefit in some areas. The schooling systems in SA, do not have such sectors and this is very unfortunate. I was able to assist him on a private level, and growing my skills as a tutor, this was actually where the desire to study further, resulting in completing the TEFL practical's and certification. The subjects identified were the entry level, English, Afrikaans, Social skills, comprehension, reading, writing and mathematics.
