What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design learner-centered curricula, use EdTech and data to improve outcomes, support diverse learners, and grow in instructional design and online education.

I am a dedicated, certified TSC English teacher with 5+ years of international online and in-person teaching experience across Kenya, China, Japan, Ukraine, and the U.S., specializing in Cambridge, A-Levels, and Kenya’s CBC.

I leverage data-driven strategies and EdTech platforms (Google Classroom, Zoom, Moodle) to deliver personalized instruction, producing measurable gains like 25% average grade improvements and a 95% pass rate for Cambridge students.

I bring curriculum development, differentiated instruction, and Python-integrated STEM lessons to foster digital literacy and cross-cultural learning, committed to student-centered, inclusive pedagogy.
