MATHEW OBENGO, Teacher, originally from Nairobi, Kenya, graduated from Williams College in 2010 with a degree in Physics. He plans to pursue Electrical Engineering after teaching at Covenant Prep. Mathew spent the summer of 2008 working at a school in Botswana, and he has also served his college community by working as a physics tutor. The experience motivated him to do a year of service before moving on to Engineering school.  He was deeply impressed with Covenant Prep’s mission and operating principles when he visited the school, and he knew right away that he wanted to spend his gap year being part of the Covenant Prep community. For his first year at Covenant Prep, he will be teaching 5th and 8th grade science along with 7th grade mathematics. Mathew is a soccer and philosophy enthusiast and enjoys reading and writing poetry.
