COMPUTER SCIENCE | MATHEMATICS TRAINER (Jan, 2026
–Present) at Starehe Girls' Centre, Nairobi
As a Competency-Based Education (CBE) Computer, Mathematics, and ICT Trainer at Starehe Girls Centre, I was responsible for delivering high-quality, learner-centered instruction that integrates both theoretical knowledge and practical application. I facilitated training in computer studies and ICT by equipping students with essential digital literacy skills, including proficiency in productivity tools, internet usage, and introductory programming concepts. I also incorporated cybersecurity awareness into the curriculum, ensuring students developed safe and responsible digital practices aligned with modern technological demands.
In the area of Mathematics, I applied competency-based methodologies to simplify complex concepts and enhance learner understanding through problem-solving, critical thinking, and real-world application. I designed and administered assessments that measured not only academic performance but also the acquisition of practical competencies. Additionally, I provided targeted support to learners requiring remediation, ensuring inclusivity and improved academic outcomes across diverse ability levels.
My role extended to the effective implementation of the CBE framework, where I developed structured lesson plans, schemes of work, and interactive learning activities tailored to competency acquisition. I continuously monitored and evaluated student progress, maintaining accurate records and aligning outcomes with curriculum standards. By adopting learner-centered approaches such as collaborative projects, discussions, and hands-on activities, I fostered an engaging and supportive learning environment.
Beyond teaching, I provided technical support and maintenance for ICT infrastructure, including troubleshooting hardware and software issues, managing computer lab operations, and ensuring reliable network connectivity. I also played a key role in mentoring and guiding students in both academic and career development, encouraging participation in ICT-related clubs and innovation initiatives. Through collaboration with colleagues and active participation in institutional programs, I contributed to the overall academic excellence and digital transformation of the institution.
