Experienced chemistry tutor of all ages

Being a first girl in my extended family to sit in a chemistry class studying advanced chemistry was like a fire burning from within challenging me to a duel with failure. I was scared that everything new my lecturers would come to teach in class would be too hard for me. This was until I completed my four years with a second class honours that I realized I had actually figured it all out with just simple steps of listening, noting important points and further reading after class.

With over 5 years in the field, my skills have marched through bronze to silver to gold level. I apply different teaching mechanisms after an assessment of my student's ability. Assignments and tests are my secret ingredients in rating level of perfection we have attained after sessions with my students. The undying yearning to see a student leave better than they came in jump starts me daily to my commitment of resilience for success.

With the increased understanding of chemistry in college, I started home tutoring of students in my neighbourhood. The bi-hourly sessions would begin with a prayer and little stretch of muscles after an hour. I would keep a notebook with me to jot down the weak areas of my student which I'd later cover privately with tests and questions to increase their understanding. However, it wasn't all about books but I'd listen to their personal challenges and encourage them where I could. Eventually, all those who went through my tuition showed remarkable improvement in school.

It felt easy but challenging to be a teacher of my peers in a combination of subjects that a little scared the boys and girls from my village but I took it upon me to introduce them into a stronger sense of understanding. I made extra hours for the poor ones and more intrigues for the sharper ones. Random tests that were rewarded in person further strengthened my students. Weekly visits to the lab and severe exposure to the scientific setting of chemistry eventually saw my students start to flourish and pass better in this subject.
