Since I returned to the UK from South Africa in 2019, I have completed a CELTA certificate. Following my CELTA graduation, I found jobs teaching English online for Itutorgroup and Whales English. These jobs sadly ended due to intervention by the Chinese government. I gained a lot of experience using online teaching tools. I have taught English language skills to refugees and other immigrants on a voluntary basis, most recently in Lancaster (UK) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). From February until October 2022, I worked as a translator for global news organisation Vice Magazine.

I also have extensive experience teaching at university and college level. In Utrecht, the Netherlands, I worked as a law lecturer for four years at a journalism college and more recently, from 2012 – 2018, I worked as a lecturer in investigative journalism at Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa. As a journalism lecturer and a working journalist, I have gained a lot of experience in digital content creation, such as videos, blog posts and podcasts.

Before my CELTA graduation, during my teaching career, I gained experience teaching TEFL to disadvantaged teenagers in a Johannesburg township and burns victims who also lived in Johannesburg. The teenagers and burns victims were enrolled in a creative writing course I designed, set up and taught. English was not a primary language for these young adults, so I gained experience teaching English as a foreign language in this setting. I helped these vulnerable groups of people find their voice so they could write their life stories.
