Dedicated primary school teacher specializing in mathematics and student development.
What I'm looking for
I am a result-driven primary school teacher with extensive experience teaching Mathematics, English, Swahili and Science across multiple Kenyan primary schools. I bring strong planning, classroom management and curriculum-development skills, combined with a commitment to student engagement and achievement.
Over the past several years I have served as a classroom teacher and held additional leadership roles including Debate Club Coordinator and Examination Coordinator, where I organized events, developed curricula, managed assessments and upheld academic integrity.
I have also coordinated extracurricular programs such as Music and Drama, leading productions, rehearsals and community outreach to enrich students' creative and communication skills. I am ICT-competent with practical experience using Windows, MS Word and MS Excel to support administrative and teaching tasks.
I am self-driven, ambitious and a collaborative team player who seeks to apply my skills in an environment that supports professional growth and contributes to improved learner outcomes.
