Experience
I have seven years tutoring experience. My inherent interest in mathematics has made me to be confident and to voluntarily tutor both an individual student or colleague student and a group of students. Having graduated with first-class honours, I did and I still do couch University students in my major-Math, especially in topics such as calculus, geometry, trigonometry, algebra. However, I have been teaching high school mathematics and physics for the last four years because I started teaching in the third year of my undergraduate education course at Kenyatta University, Kenya. This enabled me to gain a lot of experience as a prospective teacher. Now, I can easily and quickly employ various techniques in solving several challenges affecting my students as far as physics and mathematics are concerned. As a result of blending tutoring and teaching, I have helped very many weak students to excel in maths and even to join public universities.

Hobbies
I am a Kenyan citizen. I currently reside and work in my country. Since I was in high school, I have believed that education is an important factor for sustainable development. Indeed, all human activities in several sectors such as infrastructures, information and communication technology, economics and finance, physics and research among others can run well if they are handled with a good educational framework and research methods. In addition, an individual acquires adequate knowledge and skills to be transferred from one generation to another. This circumstance stimulated me to attend faculty of education, mathematics and natural science. Beside tutoring student colleagues at the University, I was able to do sixty-one units against fifty-four required for classification and graduation for education faculty students and even managed to obtain first class honours. Even though my undergraduate programme has given me a strong background in educational fundamentals, I often enrich my skills and knowledge through academic research writings as well attending to individual and group tutorials. I also like watching and playing football at leisure. Presently, I work as a math and physics teacher besides being the Head of Academics Department responsible for preparing students to report forms, keeping students and school academic records as well as handling students complaints and needs as far as academics are concerned. Having participated in the international exchange programs, chaired academic group discussion as well as participating in ethics, leadership and entrepreneurship workshop, besides volunteering work, I have developed self-confidence in influencing my clients and colleagues positively. It is against these backgrounds that makes me an energetic, hardworking, visionary and motivated person who believes that the current world phenomena can be harmonized with quality academic research and correct teaching and learning techniques. I like encouraging my learners. Nevertheless, I prioritize task, work with minimum supervision and demonstrate high levels of integrity, honesty and professionalism. I like coding and watching
