Enthusiastic Biology Teacher

Helping a student to untap their full potential is something that gives me great pleasure. I understand from my own history that every individual learns in a unique way, and once I have gotten to know a student, I utilise their ideal method of learning in order to make the best use of our time and to accelerate their understanding of their subject of choice. This also greatly aids in increasing a student's confidence in their own ability; which I have found is as important a factor as any when communicating new information with the goal for long-term retention. My enthusiasm is only paralleled by my dedication to see a student succeed, and I work together with my students to ensure they are both comfortable, and enjoying the teaching that I provide.

About

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Education Biology from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. l also have a diploma certificate in Human Physiology and Anatomy, Teaching Skills for Educators, Health Studies and certificate courses in Genes and Gene Technology, heredity and General Duty Assistance(Healthcare) from ALISON Online Learning based in Parkmore, Galway, Ireland. I have certificate of proficiency in AutoCad 2D and 3D Modeling from the Kelvin Academy--School of Designs and Programming.

I have prepared students for various examinations such as: IGCSE, GRE Quantitative Reasoning and TOEFL.

I have the ability to unleash the potentials in students as a result of my teaching philosophy, creativity and innovation that exceed paper grade and qualifications. I see my success as a teacher in the success of my students.

I am certified by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria. I am also a member of Science Teachers Association of Nigeria(STAN) and Nigerian Union of Teachers(NUT).

My approach is based on effective communication and periodic feedback, providing the students with a sense of positive personal interaction, increased self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-regulation. These are characteristics that lead to success in and beyond school.

It begins with assessing the students’ academic strengths and weaknesses, and follows by developing a working relationship with them to ensure the desired outcome, matching lessons with their learning style by introducing material in the format best suited to them and thus enhancing their learning process. A fundamental component is to assess continuously the speed at which a student works and adapt the speed of the lesson accordingly.
