BEdSc (Hons) I was born and raised in Kenya for the better part of my life. I attended Moi University from where I graduated with a First Class Honours Bachelor of Education Science degree (Mathematics major and Physics minor). I briefly taught the national curriculum before resorting to join international teaching platform, majorly teaching Mathematics and Physics as well as engaging actively in pastoral roles and other cocurricular activities. I have had opportunity to teach various international curricula but have predominantly delivered International Baccalaureate (IB) Curriculum teaching IB Mathematics Higher Level and Standard Level and IB Physics Higher Level and Standard Level. Currently I am an IB Mathematics Examiner, CIE mathematics subject specialist (Examiner) and Pearson Assessment associate of Physics. I am super excited to contribute these skills, competencies and experiences to shape the dreams of students at The British School of Beijing, Shunyi where I have accepted the role of secondary school Mathematics teacher as from August 2019. In my teaching, I motivate the learners to actively examine and extend their thinking, shape a conversational environment in which students share and construct their own knowledge, design instructions that enable students to learn by doing, apply technology to improve teaching and learning, apply appropriate differentiation techniques and EAL strategies to ensure all my students across the ability spectrum access the curriculum and make learning process an enjoyable venture. My wife, Annet and I together with our two children, Felix and Sylviah like travelling and watching movies together. Moreover, I like scientific explorations and community and service.
