Christabel O.

My name is Christabel, I am a graduate of Mathematics from the University of Nigeria. I have been teaching Basic Science and Mathematics for three years now.

I have a very tailored approach to tutoring and my methods vary according to the student in question. For me, the value of one-to-one tutoring is it’s capacity to cater precisely to the needs and learning style of that particular student and I like to take some time when we begin, to ascertain exactly what teaching methods will be best suited.

Whatever the circumstances, I take a holistic approach to my role as teacher and aim to help my students not only learn the curriculum or prepare for an entrance exam but also to become confident, independent learners, able to organize their work, put together revision timetables and develop methods to aid understanding and retention.

I encourage students to be goal-oriented and maintain enthusiasm and motivation by establishing clear attainable milestones, which strike a balance between challenging them and also developing confidence. Most importantly, however, I think it is essential that the students enjoy their sessions and that the subject matter is made relevant and relatable. I consider myself to be very positive, patient and approachable and I strive to cultivate a safe environment in which students feel comfortable to express their difficulties and explore diverse methods to enhance learning and achieve their desired aims.
