Motifalan Gandidze
@motifalangandidze
Science educator and AI ed-tech product lead for ZIMSEC exam-ready learners.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a science educator and curriculum designer with over a decade of classroom experience across Biology, Chemistry, and Combined Science, grounded in guidance and counselling and a learner-centred approach to content design.
I build and deliver AI-assisted learning products end-to-end, from concept through deployment. As Founder & Product Lead of ZimPass, I created an AI-powered ZIMSEC O-Level examination preparation web application with study modes, freemium access, and content spanning Biology, Chemistry, Combined Science, and Physics.
My work also emphasizes accessible delivery for low-bandwidth learners: I tutor remotely using WhatsApp and Zoom, and I structure curricula aligned to national examination boards (ZIMSEC). I’ve led student welfare and academic guidance as Head of Department, Guidance & Counselling, and translate that experience into student support, learner needs assessment, and clear written communication for digital learning tools.
