Sopekan O.

My name is Sopekan. I am a Second Class Upper Division graduate of Industrial Chemistry from Olabisi Onabanjo University. I also have a Diploma Degree in Education.

Having five years experience teaching Mathematics and Basic Science, my teaching methods varies with each of my student i work with.

However, in the first stages i believe it is essential to ascertain the immediate needs of my students, and discover where they think my help is most required. Once established, i encourage them to be as honest as possible throughout the teaching process by meeting them on their level, supporting an atmosphere of vocal and written exploration, and above all, inspiring them to learn and be confident in their learning.

I prefer active learning rather than lecturing my students, for example, getting them to teach me what they have just learnt. I believe this helps my student's learning, and i tailor these practices to the needs and abilities of my students.
