About
Last year, my Grade 9 mathematics class went from a 72% BECE pass rate to 98%, and the year after that, 100% — 129 out of 129 candidates passing. I'm writing to bring that same results-driven approach to the Mathematics or General Science Teacher role in your school.
I've spent the last three years teaching mathematics and science to learners aged 11–15 at Ayawaso Quarry M/A High School in Accra, Ghana, alongside earlier roles at Jesus and Mary Schools and as a National Service induction teacher. I hold a Master of Education in Mathematics, two bachelor's degrees in the subject, and was awarded Qualified Teacher Status (England) in August 2026 (TRN 2460569), alongside my Ghana Teachers' Licence.
What I bring beyond the credentials: I built the habit of tracking learner performance closely enough to know exactly where a class was slipping and adjust before it showed up in exam results — the kind of granular, data-led teaching I understand is valued in US classrooms. I also serve as my school's ICT Support Officer, managing student and staff records and using tools like GeoGebra, Kahoot, and Excel to keep lessons current for students who've grown up with technology.
I know mathematics anxiety is real for a lot of students before they ever get to me. My approach is to ground new concepts in problems they already recognise from their own lives, so the subject feels usable rather than abstract. I take the same approach to collaboration — working closely with colleagues in the Maths and Science Department, Special Education staff, and parents, because a learner's progress rarely comes down to one person in a classroom.
I would require Skilled Worker visa sponsorship to take up this role.
I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss how I could contribute to your school — and to talk through the BECE results in more detail, since I think they say more about how I teach than any line on my CV can.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Mohammed Shani Nuhu
