Paul O.
Junior Secondary Math Tutor
Home tutor in Port Harcourt, Rivers
My ability to teach practical computing makes my students want to learn some more even after each lesson. If a child discovers that he can make something out of the computer, working with computers becomes something he looks forward to.
In this high tech era, teaching of STEM has gone beyond the regular teaching for knowledge to teaching for understanding and skill. When a leaner have knowledge of an idea by mere hearing or seeing, he tends to forget after sometime but when a learner participates in verifying or establishing a concept practically, he understands it and he may never forget.
Each of my lessons is aimed at practically establishing or verifying one idea or the other. This why my students rarely forget the concepts I teach.
