1. ESTON JERALD KATENJE
PROFILE
I have resilient and resourceful skills in work situation. In schools, where resources
are not adequate, I use such skills to make teaching and learning effective. I have
approached my lessons creatively and innovatively. I change my teaching methods
to fit the learners` abilities. I have diplomatic and tactful approachin giving
feedback to learners` oral and written answers. I treat learners as distinct
individuals of different learning abilities, language challenges and social
backgrounds. I have ability to work under work pressure and to deadlines. In our
current girls` secondaryschool, I teach mathematics to Form 4 students. I
manage to give tests every fortnight and mark them in time. My hardworking
spirit has also instilled the same in learners and my fellow teachers - thus
increasing learning morale and improving academic performance.

WORK HISTORY
I have worked at various national and international secondaryschools in Malawi,
Mozambique and South Africa. I have also worked as Training Manager in 6000-
employee railway organization in Malawi for 12 years.
I have taught mathematics and/or commercial subject at all grades. In all schools,
students have loved and understood my teaching style, resulting in their increased
learning morale and improved academic performance. At Maputo International
schoolI displayed my organizational ability by proposing that students at the same
grade be grouped A, B and C and be taught at the same time by different teachers
with different homework and tests at their level of academic ability. The end result
was that learning morale, competitiveness and academic performance in students
were enhanced.
At my current school, I have instilled hardworking spirit in students by the way I
assess them in bothwritten and oral answers. My feedback is always positive. I
give fortnight tests on given topic, out of which 20 best students are displayed on
noticeboard. Such displays encourage students to put extra effort. My students
have excelled very well in national examinations, with 49 distinctions in
mathematics every year on average. Such good results have contributed to influx of
students to the school-800 to 1000. [I strongly believe that I was born a teacher
and my teachertraining at various learning institutions has enhancedmy
teaching abilities and competences]
