Grade Levels You Teach: Middle School (Grades 6–8)

Skills

I teach chemistry and mathematics confidently from grade 4 up to IGCSE and A-Level, and I can work across different curricula, including the Kenyan CBC and Cambridge. I am skilled in inclusive teaching and can adapt lessons to different learning needs and paces, including those of learners with autism. I am strong in ICT and use digital tools to make lessons interactive and help learners grasp difficult concepts. I guide learners through science projects and give practical support to those who are struggling. I also bring strong cultural awareness and enjoy sharing Kenyan culture with learners and colleagues.

About

I teach chemistry and mathematics. I trained at the University of Embu, where I earned a degree in Education Science, and I’m registered with the Teachers Service Commission in Kenya.
Last year (2025), I taught science and mathematicss to grades 4 to 8 at Thika Road Academy, using the Kenyan CBC. I now teach at Rophine Field International School, which follows the Cambridge curriculum, so I work with two very different systems and I’m comfortable moving between them. At Thika Road I also helped my learners put together their science projects for the national assessment, and I led our Maasai dance group during cultural week. That was one of my favourite parts of the year.
I also completed a two-year diploma in special needs education, with a focus on autism. It changed how I plan lessons. I now think about how each child learns before I think about what I’m teaching, and I think that makes me a better teacher for everyone in the room, not only for learners who need extra support.
I use technology a lot in class, because I’ve found that learners remember more when they can interact with a concept instead of only copying it from the board.
I’m applying to teach in the US because I want to learn from American classrooms and bring something of my own to them, whether that’s chemistry, mathematics, or a bit of Kenyan culture. I’d also like to take what I learn back to my school and my colleagues in Kenya.
