About
I have a degree in special education and over 15 years of teaching experience. I have taught in inclusive classrooms, small groups with near identical needs as well as 1:1 individualized instructions. I have excellent classroom management skills, communication skills and an ability to use multimodal teaching strategies in order to make the curriculum content accessible to all learners.
In my current school, I am both an SEN teacher and a Geography teacher. My students sit an exam at the end of Year 8 and my results for both the SEN students and Geography students have been impressive.
I worked at Braeburn Mombasa International School for just under 10 years before my current school. I was a special needs teacher (SEN) for over 3 years and a class teacher for 6 years. My students had various needs ranging from learning disabilities, physical challenges and those in the autism spectrum. My lesson observation reports by the school management were outstanding and progress in my students' learning was very good.
I am also active in outdoor sports and this has always given me an advantage because I am able to observe my students in different contexts.
