In 2012 I graduated from the University of Cape Town (UCT) with a Bachelor of Social Science degree (BSocSci), majoring in Mathematics and Psychology. I have since worked for two non-profit, public benefit organisations. Having now completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) through the University of South Africa (UNISA), I wish to embark on my career in education.
My time spent volunteering as a tutor during my undergraduate studies sparked within me a distinct recognition of how fulfilled I felt when working with the children. Not only did they make me realise what I could be contributing to society, but what they were contributing to me.This, being my first acknowledged moment that would lead me on my journey to fulfilling a long-held deep passion of mine; to work with children and contribute to society at large.

With my desire to make a meaningful contribution to the positive growth in society, I was lead down a path of working in the non-profit education sector. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work not only with youth, but with mathematics too. Having had a fondness for and admiration of mathematics for all the years, I found this to be the perfect combination. My roles, however, kept me at a distance from both the children and the maths to manage the overall running of the programmes. This brings me to where I am today; excited and eager to pursue my ambition of bringing it all together – teaching mathematics to the youth.

I believe that my keen sense of dedication to not only growing myself, but others too, as well as my willingness and zeal for learning asserts me as an ideal candidate for this position. In addition, through programme managing, volunteering, sports, work and academics, I have been able to build up on my communication, teamwork and general interpersonal skills.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to hearing from you so that we may have the opportunity to discuss this further.

Yours sincerely,
Mingah
