General Mathematics

More than 6 years experience

My name is Austin Njimogu, a graduate of the University of Abuja with second class upper in Agric Economics.
I used to see mathematics as a hard knot, then I discovered that learning mathematics is fun.
I devised some means of excelling in my mathematics classes and examinations which was simply solving lots of examples for each topic and building on existing knowledge. This helped to simplify concepts and express them in a more comprehensive way. and it proved to be successful as I passed my WASSCE with 'B'.

I am thorough in teaching concepts knowing that the success of one concept depends on the success of another. Making use of different Math texts which I have a library of, I touch almost all existing examples related to such topics with students and together we relate the difference between one example and another.

Sometimes I realize that I need to touch more basic concepts for students in grade 4, 5 and 6, which I manage to do. For instance, understanding the properties of two and three-dimensional shapes in Primary School is necessary for understanding Geometry and mensuration which in a few cases I had needed to go back to.

I work on student's confidence in the subject and we start working together and students also get to be given more independent work also. I assure you that the student cannot be the same after learning mathematics from me and his grades significantly improve as we spend more time studying.

Hiring my services will be a pleasant experience for you.

Austin also teaches:

Levels taught: Primary and Jss

Teaching Curriculum: Nigerian, British

My experience with British curriculum is that it is student centered. It makes use of activities. The curriculum extends and excites all students, whatever their interests or ability. Through it, teachers are able to identify, celebrate and nurture the talents and intelligences of students.
