What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue teaching Mathematics and Geography in a student-centered, excellence-driven environment—using strong assessment, feedback, and curriculum development to improve results while contributing to co-curricular and professional development opportunities. I am also open to various data analysis jobs and business administration.

I am a dedicated and accomplished Mathematics and Geography teacher and a Cambridge Assessment Specialist in Mathematics (Examiner 0580). I deliver engaging lessons tailored to diverse learning styles, creating dynamic, student-centered learning environments that foster curiosity and academic success.

With experience teaching First Team Cricket Manager, Form 1 to Form 6, and supporting continuous improvement, I utilise various assessment methods to track progress and provide constructive feedback. I also contribute to exam-related work as a ZIMSEC Mathematics item writer and examiner, and I have supported significant improvement in Geography and Maths pass rates while leading remedial and adult learning efforts.

Beyond the classroom, I actively contribute to co-curricular activities such as management of cricket, marimba and cultural activities, and environmental initiatives and sustainability projects. I also bring administration strengths, including online learning platforms systems Administrator, while continually participating in professional development to strengthen my teaching impact.
