KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Mathematics and Business Studies teacher with a strong belief in the transformative power of education. My experience includes teaching the IGCSE curriculum to students in Years 7 to 11 at ITQAN Australian Academy, where I design engaging lessons and assessments that foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I am committed to mentoring students as they prepare for their IGCSE examinations, ensuring they are well-equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
In addition to my full-time role, I have gained valuable experience as a substitute teacher at Rosslyn Academy, where I maintained a productive learning environment and adapted to various subjects and grade levels. My teaching journey also includes a trainee position at the Aga Khan Academy, where I planned lessons and taught IB curriculum learners in Economics. I am passionate about student support and classroom management, and I strive to create an inclusive and engaging learning atmosphere.
