I have obtained the skills of being able to comprehend all geographical topics including mapwork. This did not only help me to understand the content but also to make it vivid, where it is applicable in my daily life. That's what I believe education is, not cramming but knowing and use it daily.

Learning Mathematical Literacy helped me to understand that it is not just a complicated maths but that it is important in everything we do in real life from measurements to tariffs and taxations. I believe that the knowledge that I obtained can be passed to other people to help them succeed.

Tourism was my favorite subject in high school and it is the subject I excelled the most in. I was also empowered to teach it to my students as a result of my exceptional marks and understanding of tourism. I still enjoy it and understand it, until this very day.

I value history and its impact on students. I am also well informed about the skills set needed to write an outstanding history essay, answer tricky source-based questions and finishing the exam on time.

I was appointed to be an English teacher’s assistant at my former school, where I was allocated students to tutor and help. This became successful as my school obtained 100% English pass rate once again after a period of 7 years.

I was reared in a traditional Venda family, where Tshivenda culture and language were of utmost importance. I am very fluent and creative in Tshivenda, which is corroborated by my grade 12 mark (92%). Vho swika kha lizhaka-ndila, masithasela. Ndaa!!!
