Art and Design educator with 8+ years teaching and 17+ years artistic expertise.
What I'm looking for
I’m an artist and Art and Design educator with 17+ years of experience in art and 8+ years of teaching, creating dynamic, engaging lessons for students from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in painting, drawing, and digital art, and I bring strong discipline around developing clear, robust lesson plans that drive high student engagement and satisfaction.
Since 2022, I’ve been an IGCSE/A-level Art and Design Tutor at Mary Mount International School in Tema, where I handle lesson planning, classroom instruction, student assessment and grading, and resource management—while adapting instruction to meet diverse learning needs. Earlier, I taught at St. Peters Senior High School and Doribabs School Complex, and I also gained operational leadership experience as a Manager at Ceelogs Maritime and Logistics, strengthening my accuracy, organization, and communication. With training such as Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS 2015), Leadership in Safety Excellence (HSEM), and Cambridge Assessment International Education development, I’m committed to a safe, well-structured, student-centered learning environment.
