Dedicated Mathematics Tutor

In my Mathematics lessons, i aim to build an engaging, positive and creative atmosphere in which my students can flourish.

For me, the importance of teaching is to allow students to access all areas of learning in a way that they enjoy, enabling them to gain a love for learning that will hopefully continue throughout their education.

I believe that teaching is about the individual and discovering how each student learns and what helps them.

I have patience, i am creative and to me there is no such thing as a silly question!

About

My name is Damilolae. I have a Bachelor Degree in Chemical Engineering from the Prestigious University of Lagos.

In my five years experience teaching Mathematics and Basic Science, i have found that learning is best achieved in a fun atmosphere.

I strive to make my lessons fun and accessible as well as relevant to the career aspirations of each student so that they can engage with the subject on a personal level.

One of the advantages of one-on-one tutoring is that lessons can be targeted to address the individual needs and abilities of my student. This can range from slowing their approach to Mathematics questions to avoid making easy mistakes, using everyday examples to demonstrate scientific processes, and working out imaginative ways to teach concepts students have particular difficulty with.

I am a great believer is using examination board specifications to show students exactly what they are expected to know and how they are expected to apply this knowledge.

Furthermore, I like to spend time on examination technique, helping my students approach questions in a structured manner to gain as many marks as possible.

In addition, i believe motivation and having fun are important aspects of learning.

Students must be able to recognize why they are learning particular topics, why they are interesting, how they can be applied, and what rewards can be gained.
