About
I am a dedicated and experienced Science educator from Kenya with extensive experience teaching Biology, Chemistry, and General Science in international school settings. Currently serving at Swaminarayan Academy, I have taught across a range of curricula including Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel IGCSE, International A Level, and lower secondary science programmes.
Over the course of my career, I have successfully prepared students for external examinations, consistently supporting them to achieve strong academic outcomes through learner-centered and inquiry-based teaching approaches. My experience spans teaching Biology and Chemistry at both IGCSE and A Level, designing engaging practical investigations, and integrating technology and active learning strategies into science education.
As Head of the Science Department, I have provided academic leadership by coordinating curriculum delivery, mentoring teachers, overseeing laboratory safety, monitoring student progress, and driving continuous improvement within the department. I have also played a key role in curriculum planning, assessment moderation, and implementation of quality assurance measures.
My professional development includes training with Pearson and participation in educational workshops focused on inquiry-based learning, student-centered instruction, assessment for learning, and effective science pedagogy. These experiences have strengthened my ability to create engaging learning environments that foster critical thinking, creativity, and scientific literacy.
Beyond the classroom, I have made significant contributions to students' holistic development through pastoral care and extracurricular activities. I have supported students' academic and personal growth while coordinating activities such as chess, football, science fairs, and science competitions. My involvement in science fairs has encouraged innovation, problem-solving, and research skills among learners.
