What I'm looking for

I seek a role in education where I can teach English/Literature, coach exams and extracurriculars, contribute to school leadership, and apply AI training skills in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am an experienced educator with over nine years teaching English and Kiswahili across international and local curricula, combining classroom instruction with exam preparation and extracurricular leadership.

I have served as a subject teacher, examiner for Cambridge Assessment, class master and club patron, leading debate, MUN and World Scholar’s Cup teams while managing lesson planning, assessment and student guidance.

As an AI enthusiast and certified IELTS coach, I bring strong communication, attention to detail and leadership roles that require academic excellence, student development and collaborative institutional contributions.
