MY PROFESSIONAL PROFILE – EXPERIENCED TUTOR IN MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, AND INTERNATIONAL EXAM PREPARATION

INTRODUCTION
My name is Yunusa O Sodiq, and I am a passionate, qualified, and dedicated educator with extensive experience in teaching core academic subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Further Mathematics, Data Processing, and English. With over a decade of active teaching across different academic levels, I have built a solid reputation for academic excellence and student success.
I am not only a teacher by profession but also a tutor by passion. I have prepared hundreds of students for national and international examinations with remarkable success stories. My ability to simplify complex topics, connect with students, and adapt to various learning styles makes me a reliable and impactful tutor.
Academic Subjects I Teach
I specialize in the following subjects:
Mathematics: From basic arithmetic and algebra to advanced calculus and trigonometry.
Physics: Covering fundamental and advanced topics in mechanics, electricity, optics, and modern physics.
Further Mathematics: I guide students through abstract concepts such as matrices, vectors, complex numbers, and differential equations.
Data Processing: I teach practical and theoretical aspects of data management, computer operations, and ICT literacy.
English Language: I assist science students who need strong grammar, reading comprehension, and writing skills, especially for exams like SAT and TOEFL.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND
My teaching journey began over a decade ago. I started by teaching Primary Six pupils, preparing them for Common Entrance Examinations. I worked closely with students who aimed to gain admission into prestigious secondary schools including Command, Air Force, and Navy secondary schools. These competitive exams demand a deep understanding of the curriculum and mastery of exam techniques, which I have developed and successfully delivered over the years.
As my teaching career evolved, I transitioned to teaching secondary school students, particularly SSS1 to SSS3. At this level, I teach subjects that prepare students for WAEC, NECO, UTME (JAMB), and other internal and external examinations. I currently work in a reputable secondary school where I handle Mathematics, Physics, Further Mathematics, and Data Processing.
Beyond classroom teaching, I conduct private home tutorials and online lessons for students across Nigeria and internationally. My home teaching covers all science subjects, including English, ensuring a well-rounded academic foundation for my students.
INTERNATIONAL EXAM PREPARATION
One of my key areas of expertise is preparing students for international examinations, such as:
SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test): I provide detailed training on the Mathematics and English components, helping students understand test patterns, time management, and strategic answering.
IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education): I guide students through Cambridge standards in subjects like Physics, Mathematics, and English.
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): I offer specialized support in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills for students aiming to study abroad.
I have trained numerous students who gained admission into universities across the USA, UK, and Canada through these examinations
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AND METHODOLOGY
I believe that every student can excel when given the right support, method, and motivation. My teaching philosophy is centered on the following principles:
1. CLARITY OVER COMPLEXITY: I break down topics into digestible and understandable bits, using familiar examples and analogies.
2. STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING: I tailor my teaching approach based on the student’s ability, pace, and preferred learning style.
3. INTERACTIVE SESSIONS: My lessons are engaging, with lots of questions, discussions, and problem-solving exercises.
4. FEEDBACK AND ASSESSMENT: I assess my students regularly to track their progress and adjust the teaching plan as needed.
5. RESULT-DRIVEN APPROACH: My aim is to ensure that each student achieves academic excellence and gains confidence in their subjects.
