Joseph Gichana

Head of Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay Economics Teacher
Joseph Gichana - Joseph Gichana

I started my teaching career in a community-funded school in rural Kenya before joining an international school in Nairobi. I then moved to Xi’an, China, after which I joined NAIS Pudong where I served as Head of Humanities as well as teaching TOK, Economics and Business Management.

I completed my BA (Economics) degree at Kenyatta University, Nairobi before graduating with an MBA from Tongji University, Shanghai and a PGCE from the University of Sunderland.

I always look forward to drawing on real-world examples and case studies to bring Economics into the classroom and help students to enrich their conceptual understanding. I enjoy seeing the students develop attitudes to learning through research, communication and self-management which are skills they will carry on to the world of work.
