Employer comments

Thato is someone who enjoyed working with the learners and providing them with support to perform in class, it has been great working with her. She has been my direct report for the time she was still with Funda Wande, she has consistently delivered a remarkable performance. Respectful always, professional, and easy to work with. She is very instrumental in her team. She is a good leader and always goes the extra mile to enhance teamwork in the team. In a few instances, Thato has been reliable and dependable to her team. She is very good at giving feedback, either positive or negative. She has excellent communication skills and is always reliable with confidential information. She is very keen on meeting deadline for each project and always work tirelessly to ensure she delivers on quality. I never received a single complaint about the quality of her job from the school. Her method of managing tasks defines a leader who is focused on performance and maintains good behavior.
