About me

I am a graduate from the Gambia college school of education. I completed three years of college education as a primary school teacher. With over 13 years’ experience in primary school education and over five years’ experience in a language school teaching English.

I taught for five years in Seino Primary as a classroom teacher and I served as senior teacher. I also taught for 8 years in an international school swallow center for emancipating education in the Gambia as a Belgian school. I served as senior teacher, and head of special needs education and health.

I taught in a language school as an English teacher for over four years. I got a lot of in-service training at home and abroad. I have a competence certificate in fostering child development and early childhood education at Artevelde university college, Gent, Belgium. I attended in-service training on teaching methodology and classroom management at the International Educational summit by EDGE Institution US.

I am a highly-motivated, energetic, confident and flexible teacher who understands the important of being efficient and organized in my work, delivering high-quality, informative and engaging lessons, and creating a structured inclusive learning environment where my students can reach their full potential.

My passion for teaching, desire to continually learn and improve, and willingness to assist other teachers in the delivery of their goals will ensure I quickly become an integral part of your teaching staff.

Further details relating to my suitability, including academic qualification, work history, and experience are provided within this cv/resume for your consideration.
