Experienced school counsellor focused on student development, mental health, and educational outcomes.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated school counsellor with extensive experience providing guidance, placement services, and one-on-one and group counselling for secondary school students. I combine formal training in Guidance and Counselling with classroom teaching experience in science subjects.
From 2015 to 2022 I coordinated guidance and counselling services at TopClass College, handling student orientation, academic referrals, placement into appropriate classes, and acting as an intermediary with parents. I have also taught Basic Science and served as a boarding housemaster earlier in my career.
I have presented on mental health topics on radio and television and served as a guest speaker at education events, demonstrating strong public speaking and community engagement skills. My academic projects examined instructional materials' impact on performance and the effects of ICT on students' social behaviour.
I bring strong written and verbal communication, active listening, and attention to detail, and I enjoy extracurriculars like sports and playing drums, which help me connect with students and build rapport.
