Olabode O.
English Grammar Tutor
Certified English Teacher
My sessions are built towards a student led structure, with the pupil picking their weaknesses to explore but begin with a more supported tutorial with discussions about texts lead by me so that they never feel too intimidated. Eventually, I will become less of a guidance and more of a challenger to their ideas in order to help them become independent in their thinking.
About
I am an educator who loves teaching and imparting knowledge to the young generation because I believe that every child is unique and a great leader of tomorrow.
Over the years I have been able to tutor a lot of students who have excelled academically and morally .
I work closely with each child to determine the ways in which they learn best, their interests, strengths and weaknesses, and feed this back into my tutoring methods, creating a tailor-made learning experience.
My methods are, of course, also informed by a thorough understanding of assessment requirements and criteria both for school entrance examinations and public examinations. I believe that a positive and confident attitude towards the academic subject being studied can be hugely beneficial in terms of results, and I try to engender this by providing a supportive yet challenging relationship and environment for study.
I think the most important quality in any tutor is patience. My first step is to perform an assessment of the student; this, along with a comparison of the student's academic goals, forms the basis of our lesson plan. I listen closely to the family's goals in order to tailor my approach specifically to that student.
I thoroughly enjoy tutoring each of the subjects I teach, and hope that I can transmit my enthusiasm and energy to my pupils.
