About Me
Introduction:
Hello my name is Stef Prota
I am 27 years old and I am a sports coach and teacher.
I have studied a diploma in sports and coaching science, as well as personal training and I am a qualified level 5 English teacher through the TEFL Academy. I have also studied a Bcom in strategic management and I have worked in and out of the classroom in various schools around South Africa since I was 19 years old. I have been a student teacher for the last 3 years and taught English, life orientation and social science at prep school level.
My teaching style involves being a role model for the children I teach and for someone they can look up to and learn from. Not just with academic subjects but in life. I have an holistic approach to teaching and enjoy building relationships with my students. I have worked with children as young as four years old so I am very patient, kind and speak very clearly and slowly.
I enjoy watching sport, socializing with friends, traveling and going to gym.
