Ogundeji A.
Upper Primary English Tutor
Home tutor in Kosofe, Lagos
1. A graduate of the University of Lagos, I hold Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees in Philosophy, and took several courses in English Language from the Department of English Studies. I have over 6 years of teaching experience, helping more than a hundred students excel in their examinations at various levels - Primary, Secondary, WAEC, NECO and JAMB candidates, including adults.
I am an expert in Vocabulary Building, Grammar, Oral English, Letter and Essay Writing as well as Summary and Comprehension. I have been able to produce more than 50 Straight A's students, many of them now in different tertiary institutions across the country and abroad.
In the course of my career, I observed that many students assume they have no challenge in this subject. However, when facing standard external or international examinations they perform below expectations. Major areas of weaknesses are Grammar, Vocabulary and Oral English. With thorough teaching, multiple exercises and necessary corrections, I make poor performance a thing of the past.
Grammar
The knowledge of is as significant to spoken English as with written English. Beyond passing English Language examinations, a good knowledge of Grammar helps students perform well in other subjects as they are expected to write comprehensibly. But more importantly, it is unavailably crucial for good scores in Essay Writing and Letter Writing and Comprehension and Summary. My extensive knowledge of the subject has been used to produce students who demonstrate an excellent knowledge of Grammar from students who used to be mocked and embarrassed.
I improve students' writing skills by introducing them to the rules of grammar. I make make students who used to be poor in expression display confidence in speech and creative writing skills. Several writing exercises are done; many wrongly written sentences are given to be corrected; options are given to complete sentences; the different uses of words wrongly interchanged are explained; and, ultimately, a mature speaker of the English Language is produced. This could be your child!
