Hi! My name is Mauritia Murray-Bates. I've dubbed myself as South Africa's local ginger, but I'm hoping that soon the local ginger will see more of the world. I want to go teach English in the Cambodia. Honestly, I never saw myself as a teacher, but about three years ago, I started studying Psychology and I realized that I want to teach more than anything. Due to financial reason, I couldn't continue studying, and so I started saving as much as I could and got TEFL Certified. So here I am, with my dream and my certification, hoping to be able to go teach in a country that has always fasinated me. I love everything about Cambodia and teaching there would be bringing both dreams of mine to life. I plan to use this opportunity to not only fulfil my dream, but to help as many students as I can. I don't want to  just be the foreign teahcer who went on a nice trip and taught some stuff, I want to be the teacher who helps students become their best self and help them achieve their dreams. I am hoping that I get the chance to be that person who teaches English abroad and helps students wherever she can.
