Through a mixed methods approach, the research explores the specific difficulties faced by these educators, including language barriers, teaching strategies, experiment handling, and the overall context of science. Data were collected from 30 non-science major teachers in selected schools in the Division of Rizal, Philippines, using a survey questionnaire and checklist. The findings reveal that non-science major teachers face significant challenges in teaching science, particularly in incorporating scientific terminology, simplifying complex concepts, and using diverse teaching strategies. These challenges are consistent across different teacher profiles, highlighting the inherent difficulties of teaching a subject outside one's area of expertise. To address these challenges, the study recommends targeted professional development for non-science major teachers, including workshops, mentoring programs, and collaborative teaching opportunities. Additionally, the importance of providing supplemental learning resources for students and fostering a supportive learning environment is emphasized. By addressing these challenges and providing appropriate support, schools can enhance the quality of science education and ensure that all students have access to effective instruction, regardless of their teacher's background.
