About me

I am Okechukwu Kalu Uga, a male citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am someone who loves education, possesses excellent organizational skills and can connect easily with students. I believe that my experience and passion for teaching would be the ideal fit for the philosophy and resources offered by many institution, and I am thrilled at the opportunity to join anyone your team my make available.

I have been a  teacher of English for over 12 years, across various grade levels. In each class that I have taught, 100% of my students passed their exams , especially the externally organised ones, and improved their scores comparatively.

In addition to that, I have obtained relevant teaching license and certifications which has improved my rating in the industry.

I not only enjoy the challenge of teaching students academically but also helping them to thrive socially. As a team player, I have joined and participated in committees and school improvement projects to help build a better environment for students and staff alike.

 I hope that my accompanying resume will give you a better sense of the type of teacher I am. I look forward to a  meeting where I will sharing with you my teaching philosophy while learning more about  job opportunities available per time. I am a committed, lifelong learner and I will continue to grow as a teacher and in my knowledge of subject matter throughout my time with your agency.
