MalawiWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Malawian educator with classroom and boarding-matron experience in secondary schools, holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from the University of Malawi. I have taught English and Chichewa across public and private schools since 2019 and currently serve in the Ministry of Education.
My work blends curriculum planning, student assessment, classroom management and pastoral care; as a boarding matron I managed student welfare, hygiene, conflict resolution and health responses. I have also contributed to community mobilization and data-driven outreach through theatre-for-development projects.
