About Me

Owing to my love for teaching and helping students to understand challenging math concepts, I researched into how mathematics ought to be taught during my doctoral studies in Minnesota. Helping students to excel in math has been my passion for several years. Student achievement and success is my focus so I do one-on-one lessons as well as small group sessions. I believe students need to experience the fun side of learning math without the usual math anxiety. Through cognitively-guided instructions (CGI), I show students other methods of learning math and arriving at the correct answers without sweat. I teach and tutor at all levels from K-12. Learning math should not be a struggle so in my lesson planning, I model how the work ought to be done, followed by having my students do some practice questions. I help my students to master the concepts before we move on. My lessons also provide for those who need differentiated instructions, in other words, teaching lessons tailored to fit the students' learning needs. My flexible schedule for after school learning activities provides some assurance to parents who like my teaching regimen. Feel free to schedule tutoring sessions with me on "Varsity Tutors" platform and together, we will work till you are comfortable with your progress and achievement. It will be a pleasure to have you as my student. I am certain you will enjoy my tutoring strategies because I endeavor to give students the concepts that will help them build mastery in math and be confident in their ability to pursue career paths that may require some level of knowledge in math. Students who intend to pursue college programs that require higher levels in math proficiency will also benefit from my tutoring lessons.

Hobbies & Interests

During my leisure time, I enjoy reading motivational books and watching competitive sports on T.V.
