Summary

phone: +254727795578

I am an enthusiastic t school history and Swahili teacher with high aspirations for students, committed to supporting growth in children and enabling them to realize their learning objectives. An agent for positive change, I believe that researching the past is vital in understand the present. This is why I take pleasure from encouraging students to throw themselves into history and learn the valuable lessons of our past. My love for teaching is demonstrated in my students exam results; for the last five years, an average of 84% of my KCSE history students have achieved grades B or higher. One of my Swahili student is currently anchoring news at a national television in here in Kenya. My classroom and departmental management skills have placed me apart from ordinary teachers which has seen me entrusted with administrative responsibilities by the school authorities. I therefore aspire to be a future institution head with a touch of business administrative skills since most institutions such as schools and colleges collapse because the leaders of these institutions are not professionally equipped with skills of managing finances rather they are only trained to manage the staff.
