Carissa

I`m Carissa . I studied Psychology and Criminology at the University of Pretoria. I`ve been in the education industry for over 5 years as an English teacher. I use to tutor students during my time at University and I have always had a love teaching. I have spent the last couple of years teaching English in Asia, which gave me the opportunity to engage with a variety of different people and experience other culture first hand. I believe in hard work and staying motivated, even when times get tough. Everyone comes into your life for a reason and you should take what you can from each experience and use it to create your own success.

Experience: -I tutored students in both English and Afrikaans during my time at StudnetCo. Lessons were focused around what the students needs were.

-I worked in China at a primary school (Weifang China Singapore Bilingual School) where I taught grade 1, 3 and 4 and facilitated in weekly English corner lessons to allow students to showcase what they`ve learnt.

-I worked at an English centre in Hong Kong (Monkey Tree International), where I was responsible for a wide variety of classes such as Phonics, Cambridge, Trinity, reading comprehension and creative writing and grammar. I was also in charge of implementing lessons, crafts and activities as well as administrating student progress reports for parents.
