About the Mathematics Teaching Position

Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School in Asokoro, Abuja, is looking for a Mathematics Teacher to join its teaching team.

The role is suitable for an educator with strong mathematical knowledge who can explain concepts clearly, manage a classroom effectively and help students become more confident in solving problems.

Beyond subject knowledge, the school is looking for someone who can create engaging, student-centred lessons and contribute positively to the wider academic environment.

About Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School

Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School is located in Asokoro, Abuja. The vacancy describes the institution as a co-educational school offering day and boarding options.

For this position, applicants should pay particular attention to the stated teaching qualifications, mandatory TRCN certification, NYSC documentation and the expectation that teachers can deliver engaging, student-centred lessons.

What the School Is Looking For

The vacancy highlights the following qualities:

• Strong Mathematics knowledge and a genuine interest in teaching.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Good classroom-management abilities.
• Ability to deliver engaging, student-centred lessons.
• Familiarity with modern teaching strategies and digital learning tools.
• Commitment to academic excellence and students’ character development.
• Ability to work effectively with colleagues.
• Willingness to continue developing professionally and adopt useful teaching innovations.

Minimum Qualifications and Requirements

Applicants should have a relevant academic or teaching qualification, including:

• NCE, B.Ed., BA/BSc or equivalent qualification in a relevant field.
• PGDE, where applicable.
• TRCN certification — mandatory.
• NYSC Discharge or Exemption Certificate.

The vacancy does not specify a minimum number of years of teaching experience. Candidates should therefore focus on showing their relevant qualifications, teaching capabilities and classroom experience where applicable.

What Effective Mathematics Teaching Looks Like

Mathematics can be challenging for students when concepts are presented only as formulas or procedures. A good teacher helps learners understand why a method works and gives them opportunities to apply it.

Depending on the students’ level, this can involve worked examples, practical problems, classroom discussions, exercises and digital learning resources.

Clear explanations and patience are particularly important. Students may approach Mathematics with very different levels of confidence, so an effective teacher should be able to identify areas where learners need additional explanation or practice.

Using Modern Teaching Approaches

The vacancy specifically mentions modern teaching strategies and digital learning tools.

Candidates who have used educational technology, digital presentations, online resources, interactive exercises or other appropriate tools should mention this experience in their CV.

The strongest applications will show not just that the applicant can use technology, but how it has supported student understanding and classroom learning.

Supporting Students Beyond Academic Work

The school also places emphasis on academic excellence, character formation, teamwork, discipline and innovation.

For a teacher, this means contributing to a positive learning environment as well as delivering lessons. Experience working with colleagues, supporting students, participating in school activities or taking part in professional development can therefore be relevant.

Applicants should present these experiences honestly and focus on responsibilities they have actually handled.

How to Prepare Your CV

Before applying, make sure your CV makes your Mathematics and teaching background easy to identify.

Include:

• Your Mathematics-related or education qualification.
• NCE, B.Ed., BA/BSc or equivalent credentials.
• PGDE, where applicable.
• TRCN certification.
• NYSC Discharge or Exemption Certificate.
• Previous teaching experience, if applicable.
• Classes or age groups you have taught.
• Mathematics subjects or areas you have handled.
• Classroom-management experience.
• Experience using digital learning tools.
• Relevant teacher training and professional development.

If you have prepared Mathematics lesson plans, created assessments, supported struggling learners or used practical examples to explain difficult concepts, include those responsibilities where they accurately reflect your experience.

A Strong Mathematics CV Should Show Evidence

Rather than filling your CV with broad statements such as “excellent teacher” or “hard-working professional,” give the recruiter useful evidence.

For example, you can describe the classes you taught, the topics you covered, the type of assessments you prepared or the learning resources you used.

This makes your application more informative and gives the school a clearer picture of your classroom experience.
