What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to a progressive Kenyan school or EdTech organisation where I can deliver CBC-aligned, inclusive instruction, support learner progress with strong assessment practices, and use modern learning tools to improve engagement.

I’m an emerging, student-centred educator in the final stages of my Bachelor of Education (Arts) at Kenyatta University, building real classroom impact through teaching practicum and community tutoring. Through my placement, I planned and delivered CBC-aligned lessons for Grades 4–6 in English, Mathematics, and Social Studies, earning a Distinction-level practicum assessment and improving measurable outcomes like end-of-term CAT scores.

I also support learners beyond the classroom by tutoring and facilitating structured academic interventions—running revision sessions for university students and delivering after-school literacy and numeracy for primary learners in an underserved community. I bring strong digital literacy, using tools like Google Classroom, Microsoft Office Suite, and Zoom, plus experience as an AI content evaluator focused on accuracy and learning-objective alignment.
