Opeoluwa A.
Quantitative Reasoning Tutor
About
My name is Opeoluwa, I am graduate of Microbiology from the Yaba College of Technology and I am presently running a degree program at Bells University of Technology in Microbiology.
Over the years, I have taught students in the various primary classes, I have taught them subjects like Mathematics, English Language, Science, Literacy, Numeracy, etc. All of these were done with the aid of both the British and Nigeria curriculum, I have also taught them in preparation for their transitioning into the secondary school system, most of them have achieved a 93% success rate in their examinations.
My approach varies depending on the child I am teaching. However what unifies it across the range of ages and abilities is that I always try to break down what seem like huge, daunting subjects or assignments into smaller, manageable fun task.
My method of teaching varies with each pupil I work with. However, in the first stages I believe it is essential to ascertain the immediate needs of the pupil, and discover where they think my help is most required. Once established, I encourage them to be as honest as possible throughout the teaching process by meeting them on their level, supporting an atmosphere of vocal and written exploration, and above all, inspiring them to learn and be confident in their learning.
I prefer active learning rather than lecturing students, for example, getting them to teach me work they have just learnt or playing games to assist with learning strategies. I believe this helps the student's learning, and I tailor these practices to the pupil, their needs and their abilities.

Passionate and Experienced Tutor
May 2017 - Jul 2019
Prepclass Home Tutors
As a Tutor, I based my teaching approach on engaging my students because students learned more quickly and energetically when they were interested in the topic or subject. Therefore, I assessed each student not only on their academic abilities but also on their motivations and personality and adapted my lessons accordingly. This drove my students to learn during our time together and long after our lessons had finished. I planned individual lessons and programs of study with clear short and long-term objectives. With these, my students and I could track and celebrate our progress as we went, as well as identifying any areas that needed extra work. This approach produced clear academic results and demystified challenging subjects and skills.
