About

I am a passionate and committed educator with over 14 years of experience teaching children from Pre-Primary through Grade 9 in Kenya. Teaching has always been more than a job for me; I find great satisfaction in helping learners understand something they initially found difficult, watching their confidence grow, and creating a classroom where every child feels valued and supported.

I hold a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Education from Kenyatta University, together with a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and a Certificate in Primary Teacher Education. Over the years, I have taught subjects including Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies, Creative Arts, Kiswahili, and Religious Studies. These experiences have taught me to be flexible and to adjust my teaching to meet the different abilities, interests, and learning needs of my students.

Some of my strongest skills are classroom management, differentiated instruction, lesson planning, assessment, learner support, communication, and teamwork. I also enjoy using technology to make lessons more interactive and meaningful. I have worked with platforms such as Google Classroom, Canvas, Blackboard, Kahoot!, Quizizz, Canva, and Padlet.

One of the achievements I value most in my career is seeing learners make progress because of targeted support and encouragement. I have been involved in remedial programs, learner interventions, curriculum implementation, assessment, and activities aimed at improving academic performance. My experience has also given me opportunities to work closely with parents, colleagues, and school leadership.

I am a warm, adaptable and lifelong learner who believes that children learn best when they feel safe, respected, encouraged and understood. I see the Teach USA opportunity as a chance not only to share my experience as a Kenyan educator but also to learn from American teachers, experience a different education system, and build meaningful cultural connections. I would be excited to bring my energy, experience and love for teaching to a U.S. classroom.
