No reviews yet

Having had a robust teaching and research career with a strong I.C.T. applications in both K-12 schools and universities that span across three continents in nine (9) years, I have taught and interfaced with students and parents both online and in the traditional classroom. The robust wealth of experience I have had in these settings – online and in classroom have honed my teaching skills. More so, it has made me adapt teaching methodologies that work in different scenarios. Every student is unique and adapting a teaching approach that suites him/her has helped in improving the learning skills of my students and eventually, their academic performance. I have used positive reinforcement, times and again, to inspire the lowest of learners in order to spur on their latent interest in learning. At least 70% of my online student’s parents, did attest to significant improvement in the subject of concern, while over 85% observed improvement in the subject area.

As a research and assignment buddy, I have completed research works for many clients in the UK, Cyprus and American Universities with safe plagiarism check, appropriate referencing style as may be instructed in the academic project, flawless editing and format. I look forward to working with you.
