Odutola O.

My name is Odutola. I am a graduate of Sociology from the University of Benin.

Having over five years experience teaching Mathematics and Basic Science, i developed a tailored approach to tutoring, and my methods vary according to the student in question.

For me, the value of one-to-one tutoring is its capacity to cater precisely to the needs and learning style of my 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 a tutor and i aim to help my students not only to learn the curriculum or prepare for an entrance examination but also to become confident, independent, able to organize their work, put together revision timetables and develop methods to aid understanding and retention.

I encourage my 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 my 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 my students feel comfortable to express their difficulties and explore diverse methods to enhance learning and achieve their desired aims.
