About
Hello, my name is Justine Nyarige from Germany and originally from Kenya. Currently, I am working in Germany as a Research Scientist. I have a bachelor's degree in Education with a speciality in Maths... and Physics. I also hold a Master's and Doctorate in Physics, from the University of Nairobi-Kenya and the University of Pretoria-South Africa, respectively.
I have a passion for teaching and have been teaching students for 13 years now. enjoy teaching and love to mentor students of all levels. I can teach Maths up to College level in all topics (Linear Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Precalculus, Measurement, Trigonometry and many others). In my teaching career, I ensure that the learners enjoy their lessons and can be able to relate what we have learnt in class to real-life situations.
I am patient with my students to ensure they have followed the concept and can be able to solve problems related to what we have learnt in the lesson. I also love helping students in building their confidence in mastery of content.
Please feel free to reach out to me for any additional questions. I look forward to working with you.read more
