Introduction:

I have just finished teaching as a Homeroom Teacher at Angels International Bilingual Kindergarten in Shanghai, China in November 2018. I absolutely loved teaching there and everything about China!


The problem, however, was that I had to come back to South Africa early. There was a misunderstanding between me and my agent. The problem was I couldn't work in China legally without a Bachelors degree...


For that reason I  came back to South Africa to finish my degree. Luckily, I already got my 3-year National Diploma, which means I can finish my Bachelors degree by going to evening classes in one years time.


By teaching English online I can still continue with what I love and keep in touch with the Chinese culture, while being able to finish my Bachelors degree in the evenings!
