This is our fourth interview with teachers from 51Talk. Here is an interesting perspective from Katie, who is teaching children in China from South Africa. If you have any questions about teaching with 51Talk, please reach out to us. You can also apply to teach at this link: 51Talk Application
Katie, can you please tell us a little bit about your background?
I love to teach! I have spent 22 years teaching children grades pre-school through 12th grade. I have taught all elementary subjects as well as grades 7-12th English. For the past 17 years my husband, family, and I have lived in South Africa. I have had and continue to have regular opportunities during this time to work with children of several different ethnic and language groups. One of my favorite parts of teaching is the interaction with children. When I am not teaching, I enjoy reading, sewing, and crocheting.
