About

I am Donald an administrator and a teacher with 8 years of experience in providing professional support that help facilitate purpose discovery, talent enhancements and gifts utilization in children and clients generally. I teach English Language and Literature and I also prepare students for IGCSE, CHECKPOINT, EDEXEL, WAEC, GCE, JAMB, NECO etc.

I am highly conversant with the syllabus for both upper and lower levels of primary and secondary schools. I have taught a variety of age groups and I have been able to make basic subjects accessible and enjoyable for my students. I believe that all students can achieve success if the subject matter is personalized to suit their needs.

I believe all children learn in different ways, so I like to use a variety of methods to try and get the children to be able to understand and apply the knowledge gained. I pay attention to details, and I establish good communication with my students for better understanding of their problems and their willingness to accept what is being taught to them.

I also believe that students learn best when they can see the real-world application of their knowledge and skills and when they are encouraged to aspire to the highest standards.

For this reason, my education and professional background are a huge asset to me as a tutor. As an experienced classroom teacher, I have a thorough understanding of the assessment requirements for public examinations, and I know exactly what it takes to succeed.

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 the students enjoy their sessions and that the subject matter is made relevant and relatable.
