Anastasia K - Tutor in Rondebosch

Good Day, My name is Anastasia, I was born in Cape Town , South Africa in 1993, and spent my school career at Clarendon School for Girls in East London, South Africa, where I was involved in both cultural activities such as marimba band and ballet as well as sporting activities from rowing to hockey and water-polo. I enjoyed participating in all that was available while at school and loved the opportunity to go away on sporting tours. I then moved to Stellenbosch at the end of high school, where I completed my BA International Studies at Stellenbosch University in 2015. In 2018 I started my PGCE (Post Graduate Diploma in Education) at Cornerstone Institute. In 2016 I had the opportunity to go and teach in China for my 3month vacation which I absolutely loved. I enjoyed teaching the children and being a part of something bigger than myself. At the beginning of 2017 I volunteered for six-months in Zimbabwe at Ebenezer, an Agricultural and Training College. Ebenezer takes in students ranging between ages 18 – 25 to equip them with skills in agriculture, education and economics. The students have lessons in the morning and hands on agricultural training in the afternoons. During my time at Ebenezer, I was charged with the responsibility of teaching English and Excel to the students, as well as assisting in writing and developing Curricula for Grades 5 –7. I assisted with the developing of strategies to upgrade and maintain the current learning system with the resources available and provided support for the teachers through mentorship and skills development workshops. As a team we presented leadership and development courses for the students, we also assisted in financial management, offering training courses providing the students with skills and know-how, of how to save, spend and become self- sustainable. I am currently working in Doha, Qatar, where I have been a homeroom teacher for a grade 5 class and taught mathematics as my main subject. I am currently teaching grade 10 English and am a grade 10 homeroom teacher.
