About Wasiu


Bio

I'm currently an Instructor teaching College Chemistry at CPCC. I recently got my PhD in Environmental Science and I also have a BS and MS in Chemistry. I've also spent some time as a math and chemistry tutor in the past 3 years.

One key thing about my style of teaching is that I try to use technology, i.e., videos, visual aids etc. as much as possible as long as I think it'll help my students understand what I'm teaching.

English

Even though most of my background is in science, English is actually one of my favorite subjects. I've written a few editorials for our campus newspaper and won first prize in an international essay competition for graduate students.

I have been a Toastmaster for over 2 years. Toastmasters is an international public speaking organization with members in over 150 countries.

I also facilitate a leadership workshop for the American Chemical Society titled-Engaging and Motivating Volunteers.

Trigonometry

I've taught at college level and tutored kids at different levels all the way down to middle school. I'm working on my third science degree which means I've done a lot of math over the years. Indeed, algebra is one of my favorite subjects and I particularly like trigonometry. Algebra is also one of my favorite things to teach because I think it is rather straightforward.

Don't pass Wasiu up!!!

I needed help with college level Chemistry. I had tried 3 other tutors before Wasiu, trying to find a good fit for me. I was in a serious time crunch to get my online class done by the due date. Wasiu was great! He met with me on short notice and was very flexible with times. HE SHOWED UP WITH HIS OWN CHEMISTRY BOOKS!!! He asked for the material I was working on in advance! All the other tutors showed up hands in their pockets and never looked over anything I sent them. Because he knew I was in a rush, he jumped in and moved as fast as I wanted. His explanations were precise, to the point, and not too elaborate, though I'm sure he could have been if I needed it. He was very knowledgeable, but he frequently looked up examples in his own textbooks to give me visuals. I really enjoyed his calm and collected demeanor, especially since I was feeling frantic! I would definitely recommend Wasiu!!! A+++ (His picture does not do him justice, he has an extremely friendly and lovable smile!)

Great GRE quantitative tutor

Wasiu was not only patient with me but also used more than one teaching technique when I struggled to understand. We have only had one lesson together and I already feel less anxious about my upcoming exam. Looking forward to more lessons with him!

Very knowledgeable and helpful

He was patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He helped me understand the problems I wasted struggling with and made the work seem much simpler. I will ask him for help again in the future.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor of Chemistry

Continued working on acids and bases. Wasiu's knowledge of detail and how he presents the material makes it easy to grasp the main concept. He is definitely a great tutor/teacher of Chemistry and wants me to succeed.

Great Teacher

My kids learned a lot! It will certainly improve their grades! I’m very impressed. We will continue the lessons. Thank you.

Foluke, 6 lessons with Wasiu

Very knowledgeable and a very great tutor

Wasiu is a great tutor, he goes at your pace and if you have any questions about something he will explain it. Before I got Waisu I was about 60:40 on understanding chemistry but he worked with me and on my first exam I made a 96! I would recommend him to anyone that wants to learn the subject and make an A in chem.
