What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a supportive, evidence-led role where I can teach French and Geography, design differentiated lessons, run clear assessments, and use qualitative observation to help young learners engage and communicate with confidence.

I’m a Kenyan educator with 7+ years of direct engagement with young people across primary and secondary levels. I use sustained, qualitative observation to interpret youth behaviour, communication patterns, and learning styles, then apply that insight to classroom practice.

I’ve taught French and Geography to Grades 10 and supported French instruction for Grades 3–8 in mixed-ability settings. I manage classrooms independently, design and administer assessments, maintain structured mark records, and adapt lessons in real time to motivate learning and reduce disengagement.
