Hello there! Welcome to my space. My name is Emmanuel Ogbodo. I am a student centered, self directed, STEM compliant and goal driven 21st century educator. My professional colleagues call me 'the born teacher' because of how I deploy diverse teaching strategies to break down complex scientific concepts into simple chunks for my learners to understand. I come highly recommended with robust wealth of teaching experience spanning over ten years across elementary and secondary schools. A Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE), Microsoft Educator Trainer (MET), WAEC/NECO examiner and certified IGCSE instructor, I strive to bring out the best in my students because of the shared commitment to success that I have with my learners. Over the years, I have built an enviable track record of success in Common Entrance, WAEC, NECO, JAMB, BECE and IGCSE examinations courtesy of my students' performance. This is the confidence I have even as I compel you to make me a part of your academic success story–a decision you will NEVER regret. I am open to online and offline engagements. Come let's have fun learning together. Welcome again!
