She holds a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences (Genetics), which provides a solid scientific grounding in research methods, data analysis, and evaluation—key components of both the Science and Psychology curricula.

In these roles, she has planned and delivered lessons, adapted materials for SEND and EAL learners, and maintained a calm, focused learning environment.

Alongside school-based experience, Naba works as an A-Level Psychology tutor, where she has supported students to achieve measurable progress, including improving one learner from a D to an A. She designs specification-led lessons, models exam technique, and provides targeted formative feedback, showing strong curriculum awareness and impact on outcomes.
