About

I am an English and Literature teacher from Kenya with a Bachelor of Education Arts degree from Egerton University. I have three years of teaching experience working with both junior and senior school students.

In my teaching experience, I have planned and delivered English and Literature lessons, prepared learning materials, assessed students’ work and supported learners with different abilities and needs. I enjoy creating a classroom environment where students feel comfortable participating, asking questions and improving their confidence.

One of the things I am proud of is seeing students improve their confidence and performance through my support and guidance. I have also taken on responsibilities outside the classroom by coaching handball and volleyball, which has given me experience in teamwork, leadership, discipline and working with students in different settings.

During my university teaching attachment, I received an excellent grade for my teaching practice. I also graduated with a Second Class Upper Division in my Bachelor of Education Arts degree.

I am hardworking, patient, adaptable and willing to learn. I enjoy working with young people and would be excited to bring my teaching experience, cultural background and passion for education to a school in the United States.
