What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate in education and mentor students.

I am a dedicated and analytical mathematics educator with over 5 years of experience teaching at both high school and college levels. My expertise lies in curriculum development, student assessment, and fostering critical thinking through problem-solving and logical reasoning. I am passionate about equipping learners with the skills to excel in mathematics and related fields.

In my role as a Lecturer in Mathematics and Statistics at Kenya Teachers Training College, I taught advanced mathematics and statistics, focusing on problem-solving and logical reasoning. I designed complex assignments to evaluate student understanding and conducted workshops on data analysis and statistical modeling using Python and Excel. My previous experience as a High School Mathematics Teacher at Kagumo High School allowed me to emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving while developing effective assessment rubrics and organizing extracurricular activities to enhance students' analytical skills.
