Phonics Tutor
Experienced Phonics Tutor
A good tutor is one that can ground students with a solid foundation in understanding of the subject, as well as arming students with sharp exam technique and ability to think critically and independently under exam conditions. A tutor should be clear, calm, methodical and also ignite the students' determination to achieve in a particular discipline. My lessons are fun and engaging, as well as results driven!
About
I have prepared a good number of students for national and international examinations ranging from WAEC (Junior and Senior levels) to UTME, CHECKPOINT, IGCSE (Second Language), SAT Reading & Writing, TOEFL, IELTS and many other English related examinations.
Together, my students and I have achieved many success stories from bagging A's to cinching a 7.0 band score.
I encourage 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, I think it is essential that the 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 students feel comfortable to express their difficulties and explore diverse methods to enhance learning and achieve their desired aims.
Language is an art and I am a lover of art, a poet and short story writer.
I have a published piece titled- She is (Black). Every triumph brings a satisfaction that is only attainable when one pursues one's passion.
