Susie Mwangi

I am a highly committed and professional kindergarten school teacher who enjoys working with young children and guiding them into education. I have a very calm and patient manner. I have excellent communication skills and listening skills and relate well to young children.

I have always been passionate about education and as I am a very organized person by nature, I like to ensure that my classroom and work area are ready for the children’s arrival and that my lessons are planned in advance following the curriculum. I like to make sure that my children are engaged and interested in my classes so try to make them as interesting and informative as possible.

I am an enthusiastic person, I enjoy thinking the better of people and situations and like to put every effort into my work.
