I am an independent education consultant, with experience in training teachers and instructors in primary, secondary and higher education, and managing large education projects funded by international donors.

Responsibilities included conducting sessions, mentoring teachers, classroom observations and feedback. I have also worked on designing teaching materials and lesson plans.

In these positions I was responsible for monitoring and record keeping, preparing work plans, budgets, progress reports and financial reports as well as technical education advice.

I have advised MOE and MOHE officials on education policy.
