What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue creating engaging English learning experiences where I can develop curriculum, strengthen student grammar and critical thinking, and foster active classroom participation.

I develop English lesson plans that meet state standards and build students’ critical thinking and analytical skills at Kourklys International School.

Previously, I instructed first-year University of Calabar students in Basic English Grammar and composition, designing interactive projects to increase participation and engagement.

I have also provided instructional support across subjects and grade levels as a substitute teacher at CrownGate Missionary Academy, adapting quickly to classroom settings and managing student behavior effectively.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English and Literary Studies from the University of Calabar and have been recognized as Teacher of the Year and as Features Editor of ELSA Press.
