My name is Zephany but my students call me "Zee teacher".
I'm a 26 year old from South Africa. I have been teaching for 4 years now. have a Bachelor's degree in Education and Honor Degree in STEM Education: ICT innovation. I also completed my TEFL and received a certificate.
Here's a few fun facts about myself:
I have a literal bucket list written down and I try to complete one item once every semester. So far I have 47 items, wish me luck to complete all of them.
I'm a lover of art. I paint and draw in my downtime and visit art galleries once a month if I have time.
I enjoy watching series, movies and anime.
I started teaching full-time in 2020 the first additional language called Afrikaans, I taught the subject to middle school students. Between 2021-2023 I taught Computer Application Technology to high school students. In June 2023 I got a great opportunity to teach in South Korea. I stayed in Buk-gu, Gwangju the city that has the best food in my opinion. I taught English to elementary students both online and offline. Unfortunately I had to return back home to South Africa in July 2024 due to some family issues. During my 4 years of teaching, I gained the necessary skills to teach online.
My teaching strategies are more student-centered, where I teach a lesson through games, peer-teaching and audio-visuals allowing for more active learning. I like my students to be constantly engaged in the class, occasionally I like to have debates, story-telling, presentations and musicals. I adapt my lessons according to students' needs and goals.
