When teaching Biology, I always engage my students by relating Biology to everyday life, because I have discovered that Students tend to show interest when they see how biological concepts and questions are relevant to every day life. Then I incorporate hands on activities like encouraging students to plant gardens to learn about photosynthesis, or dissect specimens to learn about Anatomy. This already gets them interested in the subject. I try different learning and teaching styles by incorporating a variety of instructional methods that best suits my students because students learning pace is different. I always assess my students to know their strength and weakness. This helps for a better understanding.

About

My name is Adetokunbo, a graduate of Cell Biology and Genetics from the University of Lagos. I hold a Master's degree in Cell Biology and Genetics and i am currently undergoing my PhD program at the University of Lagos.


For over ten (10) years i have successfully taught Secondary School Students Biology and Chemistry, and have prepared students for WAEC and JAMB who performed outstandingly.

My personal teaching philosophy combines academic excellence with cultural appreciation. That is, I not only to teach my students the ‘ins and outs’ of their academic curriculum, but also go beyond this expectation.


Each student is different, and I make sure to tailor my teaching to the specific needs of the individual. With my students I like to create an interesting learning environment.I also believe every student is capable of performing to the best of their ability so I push my students to achieve high grades.


I adopt a very patient, process-based approach to tutoring. I create an enjoyable and positive environment which facilitates learning and results. My end - goal is to instill my students with skills that will not only assist them in a particular subject, but with their entire - learning process.


I am a strong believer that through hard - work, focus and the right attitude, a lot can be achieved.
