Methodology

I use a flipped + inquiry-based model built for global online classrooms. Students get short pre-class videos/reading so live sessions are 100% active: discussions, problem-solving, and projects. I follow backward design — start with outcomes, then build engaging tasks that hit IB/Cambridge/CCSS/CBC standards. Every lesson uses the 5E model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate. Data drives me: weekly formative checks via Kahoot, Nearpod, and auto-graded quizzes guide real-time reteaching.

Teaching Style

Warm, clear, and culturally responsive. I teach across timezones but make 3am or 8pm feel like prime time. My camera is on, energy is high, and I use visuals, breakout rooms, and virtual whiteboards to keep it human. I simplify complex ideas with memes, real-world global examples, and storytelling. Strong focus on student voice: Think-Pair-Share in chat, Padlet boards, and Flipgrid reflections. I scaffold for ESL learners and differentiate with tiered tasks + choice boards so every learner from Nairobi to New York thrives.

Results

- 95% student attendance & camera-on rate across 12 countries
- Average student growth: +1.5 grade levels/year in standardized tests
- 4.9/5 parent satisfaction across 200+ families
- Coached 15+ students to win international contests: Math Olympiad, Model UN, Science Fairs
- Built 50K+ subscriber YouTube/Edpuzzle channel for async support, cutting homework gaps by 60%
- 100% of seniors got into 1st/2nd choice universities in US/UK/Canada/Australia

What Makes Me Great Online

1. Timezone wizard: Run smooth classes for US, UK, Asia & Africa learners. Recordings + office hours mean nobody’s left out.
2. Tech with a heart: Expert in Zoom, Google Classroom, Miro, Canva, AI tools — but pedagogy first, tech second. If the WiFi dies, learning doesn’t.
3. Global + local* I bring Kenyan case studies to IB classes and explain US elections using African parallels. Kids feel seen, wherever they are.
4. Parent partner: Weekly Loom video updates, transparent grade books, and 24hr response on WhatsApp/Slack. No surprises.
5. Relentless feedback: Video feedback on essays, voice notes on math, live doc commenting. Students always know their next step.
6. Community builder: Ran virtual clubs: Debate, Swahili for beginners, Coding. Students from 4 continents now call each other friends.

_“Distance is just data. My job is to make every student feel like they’re front row — whether they’re in Kilgoris or California.”_
