Nina Ox

I am Visual Arts Educator with more than 13 years of experience in teaching. 

• I have more than eight as a Visual Arts educator for various primary and high school learners in South Arica.
• Four years teaching English to young learners as well as primary school learners in Taiwan.
• Six months of experience as an art facilitator and curriculum writer at an NGO based in Cape Town.
• Four years teaching Life Orientation to Grade 8 learners.

I have experience in different teaching methodologies, curriculum writing and the development of learning martial as well as assessments.

I have the ability to connect with a wide range of learners, from different backgrounds and age groups and foster children's
 interest in learning by creating 
 a fun, friendly, structured, supportive and stimulating learning environment.

I am passionate about the arts, sustainability, the youth, the upliftment and empowerment of those disadvantaged positions passions and education. I believe that young people should have access to good education and the opportunity to improve their lives and pursue their dreams for the future.

I am a warm, outgoing energetic and patient educator. My approach to teaching is creative. 
I will go out of my way to meet the leaner at their learning level. 

As a creative problem solver, I am good at managing, organising and forming new structures.

I have a strong work ethic and 
 a responsible, optimistic attitude towards work.

Other than education, I have experience in the graphic design, sales and retail industries.
