Doyinsola - Thamesmead tutor
Information About Doyinsola:
Personal Description:
My name is Doyin Alli and I am a second year student on the BSc Accounting and Finance programme at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I am interested in pursuing a career in the financial service industry and I hope to be an investment banker by 2010.*
Tutoring is a hobby because I feel fulfilled when I can assist students reach their full potential or at least help them in developing an interest in subjects they dislike. I am a patient tutor and I have an excellent communication skill which I believe aids a student's understanding. I am fun to be with and I believe that hard work and determination from students combined with my assistance would help students reach their full potential
Teaching Experience:
In June 2008, I was fortunate to be offered a placement at Forest Gate Community School on the Student Associates Scheme developed by the government to raise the aspirations of young people at secondary schools in London. I was a mathematics tutor at Forest Gate Community School for 3 weeks and my responsibility was to assist teachers during maths lessons by giving individual students and groups of student's one to one tutoring. I was usually assigned to help students who were weak at mathematics and who needed assistance. I was exposed to teaching maths across all year groups from year 7 to year 11 and also helping teachers plan and execute some of their lessons.
I believe the experience made me a better teacher because I have developed the ability to better understand the needs of students with different abilities. During the placement I taught students who initially disliked maths and after I devised more interesting and more interacting ways of understanding certain topics, the students began to enjoy the subject and some students even begged me to be their maths teacher
Tutoring Approach:
I understand that students have different approaches to learning and thus, my approach to tutoring is structured to each group of students with similar learning types. Some students learn my repetition and my writing their work over and over again whilst some learn by hearing (auditory learning). My tutoring approach accommodates this different learning types. I encourage students who learn by repetition to do a lot of home work while I encourage those who prefer auditory learning to play maths games and I create more interactive exercises for this group.
Overall, I try to give a reasonable amount of home work as I teach various topics and I also try to link topics so that students can appreciate the use of knowledge from one to topic to another. I am patient with students and I can understand each student's need.
