Philip K.
Mathematics Tutor
Excellent Mathematics teacher
Mathematics can pose itself as a rather challenging subject to a lot of students, some just have an undefined phobia/fear for the subject.
For me, tutoring is a very personal experience and no single approach works for everyone. So my approach will be tailored to the individual student to meet his/her learning needs at that given point in time.
I however like to build up from the basics and try to find a common base of knowledge and use it to answer problems.
Also, as opposed to you trying to remember every detail of a subject, I think being able to piece together information and attack the problem from the basics, naturally leads you to a better understanding.
About
I am very passionate in teaching, inculcating knowledge and morals to the young ones. Once the young ones are held, the society is held and so the nation entirely, since they are the leaders of tomorrow.
I have about five (5) years of teaching experience in schools in Nigeria rendering both Nigerian and British curriculum. Presently, with Crystal Field British International School Sangotedo, Lekki-Epe way, Lagos. I teach Mathematics across board (Year 7 - 12) and Physics (Year 10 -12). I have prepared students for IGCSE, SAT, WASSCE, CHECKPOINT. The success story is that they came out with good grades and parents’ commendations.
With the drive to be more productive and valuable, I am presently pursuing my Ph.D (Environmental Engineering) in the University of Ibadan. This will have no interference to rendering my services effectively. I am very good working with the young ones and good in time management.
