About me
I am a highly qualified, enthusiastic and experienced educator with a BSc in Physics, MSc in Physics, PGDE in education with extensive expertise in both the Nigerian and Cambridge Curriculums. I am adept at designing and implementing comprehensive and engaging lesson plans tailored to diverse student needs. I teach Physics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Sciences in both elementary, junior high school, senior high school and advanced level. My background includes serving as the Head of the Department of Sciences, where I demonstrated strong leadership and organizational skills, ensuring the effective delivery of the curriculum and professional development of my colleagues. I am very vast when it comes to involvement and heading extracurricular activities due to my outstanding skills; I have successfully led and instructed various programs like; sports (Aerobics and Cardiovascular workouts on a weekly basis for both students and teachers), planned music concert and coordinate academic and social presentation and drama along side with the music teacher due to my music and Art skills and I am also the Master of Ceremony (MC) of the school due to my public speaking skills which further enables me to engage and inspire students both inside and outside the classroom. In addition to show my excellence in teaching, I have won the award for the best teacher for two sessions in the school where I teach currently. I have only taught for three years, but I have won these awards for two sessions (2 years, 2021/2022 and 2023/2024).
I am passionate about fostering a positive dynamic learning environment that promotes academic excellence and personal growth. I always stand to exceed your expectations if I am given the opportunity to work in your school. I hope to bring all my experiences to bear if I am given the opportunity.
