Lucksy Arens

Hello, my name is Lucksy Arens. I am 30 years old. I currently reside in South Africa, Cape Town and currently employed as an Au Pair. I have been working with kids since the age of 13years old when I started off just babysitting. I furthered after school with becoming an Au Pair. I have been doing it for years after I matriculated in the year 2010. I am fluent in English and Afrikaans. I have the patience to deal with children and young adults. I am a fast and efficient worker in completing tasks and I am great at problem-solving. I have always had a passion to teach and have been told by people in my life I should pursue a career in education. 

I bring the personality of peace and comfort and like to create a space for children and young adults to engage as much as possible through healthy communication and interaction. I also follow the curriculum and use it as guide to plan lessons and achieve goals for the learning objectives for each student. I am able to provide the learners with effective tools and techniques in learning and understanding the English language. I am very creative and love to work according to the needs of my students as individuals and collectives in my classroom. The motto in the education sector I have adopted is "enter to learn, leave to serve". This is a motto I had when I was schooling, and it really does come full cycle as I get to implement it in my teaching style. Being a special needs student suffering from anxiety I am able to understand the needs of most my students I interact with and with this knowledge I am able to educate students to the needs of the classroom being met as well as their own individual needs being met too.

I matriculated from St Georges Grammar school in Cape Town year 2010. I went on further to enroll at the University of Western Cape in year 2011 but transferred to the University of Cape Town and registered for my Bachelor of Social Development course. I was able to complete all my social development courses and did not manage to complete my additional courses due to financial assistance. I have been working as an Au Pair and Educator where i recently completed my TEFL and TRA certificate qualifications to teach.
