Martín L.

My name is Martin-Louis Precious Chinaza. I’m an online tutor with almost four years of professional teaching experience. My subjects of expertise are- English Language, Literature in English, Government and Economics. My teaching method and style is a very interactive one and includes combination a several interactive methods. Firstly, I always provide teaching materials for my students ahead of time and summary notes so that they when they come to class, they know what to expect from the class. They have the material to look at while I teach and they have also have some knowledge of it, having gone through it before the class so comprehension is easier. Secondly, I carry out both formative and summative assessments of my students. During my classes, I ensure to carry out mid-class exercises together; quizzes, polls, asking them to explain in their own words,etc. I make use of the ‘I do, You and we do approach; I solve a problem, then we solve it together, then they solve it on their own. For students preparing for external examinations, Eg: The Cambridge English Test, etc, I always integrate these external questions as class exercises and homework, this way we can gradually cover their syllabus before the exams. Thirdly, I make use of digital teaching tools. Like, Digital whiteboard, sticky notes, etc. I also try to make the recording of the class available for those who request for it. In addition to that, I understand that each student processes information differently. Student understands better with different medias. So I try to understand what media works best for a particular student and I work with that.Also with pacing. Some students learn faster. Others learn slower so I pay attention to that too. Then, i set goals for every class with my students. This II a because it's easier to learn when inspired and can measure progress, So I set goal with my students and we celebrate when we meet that goal I also believe so much in feedback to students. I praise them when they do well and give constructive feedback for improvement I also love to receive Feedback from parents or guardians so I know the areas i need to Improve on. Finally, I try my best to ensure on my end that I have a good background and good sound and stable network connection. This way the class is not interrupted and my students learn effectively. Asides, My hobbies include reading good fiction and learning. Honestly, I know I sound like a nerd but nothing excited like me like productivity, learning and actually doing reasonable and worthwhile activities with my time. Thank you so much and I really look forward to working achieving your learning goals with you.
