About Me

I was born in 1990 November 20th at Kendu hospital.i spent my first 11years in Nyahururu town,then we relocated to kisii town where i joined boarding school then did my K.C.P.E.
In 2005 i joined secondary school in Homabay.During my childhood i have managed to learn five languages i.e English,kiswahili,kisii ,kikuyu and Luo
Sometimes i wonder how i got to master all of them and speak fluently.i later moved to Nairobi for my university studies.After graduation i was lucky to secure a job at Kilifi county,later i came to work in Nairobi where i currently work.
My greatest challenge was adjusting and adapting each time we relocated especialy school work since i could find that in the new school they were far ahead in the syllabus but by doing extra tuition classes , private tutoring and studying extra harder i always managed to catch up with the rest of the students hence attained a good grade that enabled me join a provincial high school.
A Culture that is unique where i live is the practice of FGM on young girls but am happy the goverment has sensitized its citizen and the rate has drasticaly dropped.my hobby is tutoring school children and also high jump for my sports and thats what i do during my leisure time.

My Business

i began my business in tutoring about half an year ago.it all began by tutoring my siblinggs and cousins.Then i thought it was a good idea and since i am a very patient person and good at sciences i decided to start turoring privately.At first i could get very few students to tutor but currently the number has increased especialy during school holidays.basicaly am good at sciences and more precisely in physics and maths.due to my passion in sciences i just find it right to help nuture other people. i use a percentage of my salary to buy some reading and writing materials for myself and my students too.i earn approximately 26000 ksh. I spend at most 3000 ksh on my tutoring business .each student pays 1000ksh per week and as at now i have 9 students i tutor in the evening from 5pm to 8pm and sartuday 8am to 12pm.The profits i get i use to run my other business of selling 2nd hand clothes.

Loan Proposal

I recently bought a piece of land where i would wish to plant some kale in order to raise more money and expand my other businesses.
I would wish to request any lenders on this platform to kindly help me achieve my dreams.
