Meet David Kuloba - Chemistry Teacher, August 2026

My name is David Kuloba, and I was born and raised in Kenya on the beautiful slopes of Mount Elgon. Growing up in a strong Christian family shaped my values of respect, community, and lifelong learning. I later pursued my university education at the prestigious Egerton University, where I earned a Bachelor of Education Science, specialising in Biology and Chemistry.

My teaching journey has been both exciting and rewarding, taking me across Kenya, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Germany. Each country and school community has provided unforgettable experiences, broadened my perspective, and strengthened my belief in the power of education to connect people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Throughout these experiences, one thing has remained constant: the importance of learning how to live, work, and grow together as a global community.

I am truly excited about the opportunity to join the International School of Lusaka (ISL). I look forward to sharing my experiences, learning from others, and growing alongside this vibrant and welcoming community.

Beyond the classroom, I have a deep appreciation for nature, enjoy football and running, and value a good sense of humour as an important part of human connection and personal development. I am enthusiastic about contributing both academically and socially to life at ISL as a Chemistry teacher.

Meet Andrea Ohlms - Drama Teacher, August 2026

My name is Andrea Ohlms, and I’m a South African theatre teacher. I have been teaching theatre in Myanmar for the past three years, and bring with me over a decade of experience in theatre as a performer and creative practitioner, with a lifelong love for performance that started when I was very young.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Drama and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. My experience includes acting, as well as directing, writing, arts management and filmmaking. 

I’m particularly interested in helping students use theatre to express themselves, build confidence, and explore ideas about the world around them. I believe theatre is a powerful space for creativity, self-discovery, and connection.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time in nature—especially hiking and camping—as well as attending arts showcases. I also enjoy exploring different cultures, which continues to inspire both my teaching and creative work.

I’m really looking forward to becoming a part of the ISL community.

Meet Oliver Sakanyi - Music & Art Teacher, August 2026

My name is Oliver Sakanyi, and I am delighted to be joining the ISL teaching team. I began my teaching career at Munali Boys High School in Lusaka and have since gained valuable experience teaching in Botswana as well as in some international schools across Zambia. Most recently, I have been based in Monterrey, Mexico, where I have been teaching Art and Music, an experience that has greatly enriched my professional practice and cultural experience.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy visiting museums and learning about different cultures, both past and present. I also have a love for gardening and take great pleasure in planting and nurturing things as I watch them grow. I believe these interests complement my teaching by encouraging curiosity, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us.

I am very happy to be returning home and becoming part of the ISL community. I look forward to meeting the students and being part of their growth and learning journey.

Meet Marina Case - English Language Teacher, August 2026

My name is Marina Case, and I’m originally from England. I have 19 years of experience teaching English language and literature in both England and Austria, working with students across middle and high school.

I enjoy working with young people from diverse backgrounds, inspiring them to take ownership of their learning while building confidence in their ability to achieve their full potential, both academically and socially. I am especially passionate about reading and encouraging students to explore ideas, question what they read, and develop their own expressive voice.

Outside of school, I enjoy travelling, experiencing new cultures, learning new skills, and meeting new people along the way.

I am very excited to be joining the international school community as a Secondary English teacher and look forward to getting to know the students, families, and staff.
