Teaching Style
I am a developmental educator who teaches more child centered educational approach; I believe more in assessment driven lesson plans because they produce dynamic as well as updated results.
My Hobbies
I like drawing, writing, making beaded necklaces, cooking, exercising, watching WWE wrestling, watching Nollywood (Nigerian, Ghanaian, West African) movies, internet research, and playing puzzle video games.

I am dedicated, loyal, and hard working professional who puts the needs of the client first. I am not egocentric nor am I a prima donna. My first and only priority is to ensure the successful academic improvement of the student that I tutor.
