Afrikaans First Additional Language Teacher

Your subject, your classroom and learners who need you to believe in them: that's this rural combined school in Polokwane. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Polokwane; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
