The experience in Berne will benefit my career as an African teacher because of the experience I have gained. I can now think outside the box, have new teaching methods to make teaching and learning stimulating and effective. As much as the contexts of the two countries are different, I believe I can find a way to implement what I have learnt in a South African context.

With my international experience, I can now implement unique teaching styles that I believe will make the teaching and learning in my classroom effective and productive.

My advice for future Incoming interns: Get feedback from your mentor teacher, evaluate yourself as a teacher and find different teaching styles that work for specific groups!
