Hello, I’m Shimei, and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s of Education (Intermediate Phase) at UNISA. My dedication to education began early on, as evidenced by my matric year where I earned 2 distinctions. Complementing my formal education, I obtained a TEFL certificate in 2019, which marked the start of my dynamic teaching journey. Over the past 5 years, I’ve been engaged in both online and private teaching, offering my expertise to students across the globe.

My experience includes working with diverse platforms and employing the Cambridge curriculum “CambriLearn” as a private teacher for a homeschooling family. I’ve fostered a strong proficiency in teaching English, and I’ve also provided primary school students with tutoring in key subjects such as Maths, Science, Afrikaans, and English. My true passion for teaching has emerged through these experiences, and I’m committed to making information clearer and more comprehensible to students. I prioritize tailoring my teaching methods to the student’s unique learning style, ensuring that each individual can grasp and retain the content effectively. Beyond education, I find solace in strumming the guitar and channeling my creativity into scrapbooking during my leisure time.
