Seipati

Hello, I am Seipati Lebina, an English teacher.I have a diploma in Secretarial Studies from St Elizabeth Training Institute in Lesotho. As an English teacher with one year of experience, I have dedicated myself to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment for my students. My teaching journey began with a strong foundation in the English language and a passion for education. Over the past year, I have honed my skills in teaching English as a second language (ESL) to a diverse range of students, both in terms of age and proficiency levels. One of my core strengths is my ability to create lesson plans that cater to the individual needs of my students. I believe that each student has a unique learning style and pace, and I strive to accommodate these differences by employing a variety of teaching methods. My lessons often include interactive activities, multimedia resources, and real-life scenarios to make learning both effective and enjoyable. For instance, I frequently use role-playing exercises to improve conversational skills and incorporate videos and audio recordings to enhance listening comprehension.In my year of teaching, I have worked with students from various cultural backgrounds, which has enriched my understanding of different learning needs and preferences. This experience has also taught me the importance of cultural sensitivity and adaptability in my teaching approach. I make it a point to learn about my students' backgrounds and interests, which helps me build rapport and create a more inclusive classroom environment. Classroom management is another area where I have developed my skills. I have learned to maintain a balance between discipline and encouragement, ensuring that my classroom remains a positive and productive space. I set clear expectations and goals for my students, and I provide regular feedback to help them track their progress. My approach to assessment is both formative and summative, allowing me to identify areas where students need additional support and to celebrate their achievements. Moreover, I place a strong emphasis on communication skills, which are essential for mastering any language. I encourage my students to practice speaking as much as possible, whether through structured activities or casual conversation. I also focus on building their confidence, as I believe that a confident student is more likely to succeed in their language learning journey.In addition to my classroom duties, I have taken the initiative to participate in professional development opportunities to further enhance my teaching skills. I regularly attend workshops and webinars on the latest ESL teaching strategies and methodologies. This continuous learning allows me to stay updated with current trends and best practices in the field of language education. In summary, my one year of experience as an English teacher has been marked by a commitment to personalized, interactive, and culturally responsive teaching. I am dedicated to helping my students achieve their language goals and am excited to continue growing and learning in my teaching career.
