General Mathematics

More than 3 years experience

A well-experienced tutor in Mathematics. I am an individual that so much believes that General Mathematics can be understood by anyone - provided the right guidance is provided, and the right approach followed.

During my Primary and Secondary school days - I was the best Mathematics student; little wonder - in my undergraduate days I taught this subject to the University staff school students, as well as Freshers and second-year students - as tutorials (Primary through to Undergraduate level).

General Mathematics is not rocket science as some people believe/make it to be so; it is all about getting a strong foundation in its basics such as Mathematics operations. So, my first step is to always conduct an assessment for my student(s) - to ascertain the area in which there is a challenge; from here - I am able to understand and see the grey area - and begin from there. From the results of the assessment - I give specific exercises including video shows that will aid the student(s) in understanding the core concepts/basics.

Different students have different ways of understanding this particular subject; so depending on the student - I am able to demystify this subject and use everyday concepts / familiar things that the particular student knows - to start off the journey to General Mathematics excellence; I do not force it on my students neither do I try to make them cram formulas; rather I teach them in such a way that they do not have to go cramming and "forgetting" formulas.

I also engage them in fun math games for their age - that will enhance their grasp of mathematical operations.

Very importantly, I check my student(s)' curriculum/scheme of work - and tailor my lessons to that. I am familiar with the British and Nigerian Curriculum.

David also teaches:

Levels taught: Nursery, Primary, Jss, Sss, Undergraduate and Adult

Teaching Curriculum: Nigerian, British, American

The three curricula listed above have much similarities being learner-centred. From my experience, they all have the same content, but differ in style of delivery, as well as the mode and pace of learning. I'm familiar with, and have taught students whose schools adopted these curricula.

Lessons hold at your home

When you book lessons, David will usually travel anywhere at most 5km (~ 30mins drive ) from Near Dangote to deliver lessons.
