Teacher : Ridhwaan Moola

About Me #

I have a dear passion for education, with experience working with children, and a strong foundation in Montessori principles, I am confident I possess the skills and dedication to become a valuable asset to any school and local community.

I have been teaching kindergarten and primary school children at a Montessori school in northern Thailand. This experience has been instrumental in developing my ability to create engaging and age-appropriate lessons that foster a love of learning. I am skilled in crafting curriculum that enhances children’s reading, writing, comprehension, and conversational skills, while also nurturing their social and emotional development.

Prior to relocating to Thailand, I actively represented underprivileged communities in South Africa. I led training programs in sustainable agriculture, business development, and self-employment methods, empowering individuals to achieve self-sufficiency. This experience instilled in me the importance of fostering independence and critical thinking skills in young learners as well as adults.

My passion for education extends beyond the classroom. I am a highly motivated individual with a genuine enthusiasm for fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.
