Passionate Swahili and History teacher with international volunteer experience and strong language skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Swahili and History teacher with classroom experience across Tanzanian secondary schools and international volunteer service in Germany. I bring hands-on teaching practice, student assessment skills, and extracurricular coordination experience.
I have taught multiple grade levels, led English clubs, supported sports events, and worked with people with disabilities, which strengthened my classroom management and empathetic care skills. I also volunteered for 18 months in Germany at Ev. Lutheran Schulberg Kindergarten, gaining cross-cultural teaching and mentoring experience.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts with Education and intermediate German (B1), and I am proficient with basic computer tools (MS Word, MS Excel). I seek opportunities where I can apply my language skills, classroom experience, and international perspective to support student learning and community engagement.
