About Me
Experienced and trustworthy chemistry teacher with 17 years of teaching.Produced the best IGCSE Chemistry student in Africa in 2017 and the best A- Level Chemistry student in Kenya in 2019.
My teaching style and method encompasses both active learning and blended learning and focuses on building answer presentation skills in students which based on my experience is a grey area which hinders students capacity to attain their predicted grades in their final exams. I always look forward to a stimulating two way learning experience using methods that are easier and straight forward to the student for easy understanding of complex topics. Thank you.
