Chilala Matimba Atsrim
@chilalamatimbaatsrim
Computer Studies lecturer and ICT trainer who builds learner-centered, technology-driven education and accurate remote data workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated education professional with over 10 years of experience in ICT training, lecturing, and academic leadership. I motivate learners from diverse backgrounds using innovative, technology-driven teaching methods, consistently achieving 100% student pass rates.
As Principal & Lecturer at IYF Bethel Youth Resource Centre (January 2022–Present), I led the first student intake while establishing all academic systems from inception. I managed comprehensive student records and institutional reports, building trust through transparent leadership, structured record-keeping, and consistent academic supervision.
Previously, as a Computer Studies Lecturer at Kaoma Trades Training Institute (2018–2022), I taught Microsoft Office, databases, and web fundamentals over four years. I shifted instruction to learner-centred, technology-enhanced delivery, using Kahoot.it and other digital tools to improve engagement and measurable outcomes, while maintaining accurate assessment records and reporting.
Now I’m expanding into the global digital workforce as a Remote Data Entry Specialist and Virtual Assistant. I’m highly organised and detail-oriented, with strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and quickly adapt to new platforms and systems.
