Inez Dos Santos

I am qualified with a Bachelor’s Degree in Intermediate and Senior Phase, which means I am qualified to teach ages 10 – 15. I have been in a classroom setting since the age of 19, as a student teacher, all the whilst obtaining my degree. I found these years of infield experience extremely valuable, as I was not just learning the theory work behind teaching, but applying it in a practical setting.

I have also obtained a level 5 TEFL certificate. Once I obtained my degree I was immediately appointed as a teacher, leaving no gaps in my work experience. I have, formally, been a qualified teacher for 9 years, where I have taught subjects like: Mathematics, English Home language, English First Additional language, Geography, History and Natural Sciences, EMS, Technology, Afrikaans, Life Orientation.

I am very proficient in all Microsoft Office applications and in all forms of technology. I do integrate my technological skills into my teaching methods, as I believe it keeps the “modern” learner interested and in touch with the world around them.

I believe strongly in a holistic approach to teaching, where not only the academic well-being of the learner is considered but, also the social and emotional well-being are well looked after. I believe a happy and content child makes for a confident and successful learner.

I sincerely thank you all for this opportunity to apply for a post that might be available and would appreciate your considering my application seriously. I would be immensely grateful if my application was kept on file for any future opportunities that may arise.

Yours faithfully
