Private tutor in Nairobi, Kenya

Education

At pre-collegial level, I had the privilege of learning in both the British curriculum (GCSE/IGCSE) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma & Bilingual diploma program. I got accepted into University of Waterloo for a Bachelors in Science in Chem. Eng. I dabbled in the sciences and the arts, earning both. I then went on to pursue an MA in International Relations. To further my teaching capabilities, I am pursuing a PGDEi and an ABCTE with the hopes of earning my PhD in Education soon.

Experience

I have over 10 years experience in tutoring students from Grades 6 to college level. One of my earlier tutoring encounters was hosting a summer camp for students transitioning from other syllabi into the IB program; the modules included English, Math and Science. Having taken the standardized tests and also acquired competitive skills in test preparation, I find myself in a unique position to guide candidates through the process. I am also adept in guiding students through college applications and essay writing from being a peer counselor on campus, and later a career counselor. Recent students have achieved over 80% in their university entrance exams with just a few sessions including some focus on exam preparation as well as content. Another student with a commitment to her own success achieved a 7 in IB Business Management with one on one teaching over only one year, where I coached her to develop and apply her learning to achieve her desired results. In 2020, I coached a student for a few months on her Business Management IA which facilitated her to reach a 7! I am resourceful at helping students master: Reading, Writing and Literature Mathematics (all sections) The SAT,ACT, GMAT and GRE (all sections) Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Precalculus Micro-, Macro- and other Economics courses Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and History I provide a diverse offering of services, including, but not limited to: exam preparation, standardized test prep, homework help, concept reinforcement, projects, and essays. The reason I have found great success as a tutor is because I know how to explain difficult concepts to struggling students. My deep understanding of the various fields allows me to shed new light on topics and show students how to tackle problems in a way they can comprehend. My long and varied teaching experience and familiarity with standardized tests like the SAT enable me to design a unique approach specifically suited to each student's individual strengths and weaknesses. My students enjoy working with me because I think of creative ways to explain complex concepts, keep tutoring sessions fun and stress-free, and always go the extra mile to make sure all of their needs are met. Most of all, I push students to challenge their own standards of success and equip them with the confidence and skills that allow them to exceed their own expectations. I tailor all my lessons to the individual and their needs to maximise their progress and enjoyment of the lesson. All my tutoring lessons are planned with lots of resources, with a particular emphasis on exam questions and technique.

Some of my hobbies are country and classical music, poetry, cycling, basketball, yoga and water polo.

I have a real passion for travel and exploring other cultures, especially all their food! I love to cook and bake, and attempt to bring some of my favorite French, Italian and Swahili treats into my own home.
