What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate in education, promote inclusivity, and empower students while fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.

I am a dedicated educator with a Bachelor of Education in Science from Kisii University. My teaching philosophy centers around nurturing well-rounded individuals who excel academically and in extracurricular activities. I believe in empowering students to become confident, responsible, and innovative thinkers.

Currently, I serve as an Assessment Specialist Examiner with Cambridge for IGCSE Mathematics, where I apply my expertise to enhance educational standards. My professional development in Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry and Mathematics has equipped me with effective pedagogical approaches tailored for teaching these subjects, allowing me to deliver engaging lessons that foster a love for learning.

At AIC Grace Academy School, I teach Home Science, Life Skills, CRE, and Mathematics, where I have successfully improved student performance in Mathematics. I also take pride in my extracurricular involvement, coaching volleyball and conducting aerobics sessions, which promote physical fitness and well-being among students.
