Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
I was a group leader of maths students in matric who were chosen to attend private Saturday science classes where I got to engage with learners from different religion, races,etc as we sometimes worked in groups to solve worksheet problems.The above experience taught me the best communication skills
Accounting
I was one of the two students who got accounting distinctions in high school achieving an 88% in the subject. I am very passionate about the subject hence I'm still doing it even at fourth year of university and would like to invite young ones into the train through tutoring and motivation
Life Sciences (Biology)
Life science was one of my favorite subjects in high school and what I learnt from it was that consistency and understanding what is required is key in working on scoring yourself a distinctions in theory based subjects.
- University Tutoring
Financial Accounting
Financial accounting at this level requires good listening skills and proper understanding of the basic principles of reporting introduced, especially for a student who did not do accounting in high school. My job then is to help clarify to those students and give good exam techniques for the course
