Mathematics and Physics Teacher

Mathew O.

With a strong academic foundation and extensive teaching experience, I am well-equipped to tutor in physics and mathematics. I hold a Master of Science in Physics from Cleveland State University (GPA 3.67/4.00, May 2024), a Master of Science in Geophysics from the University of Leeds (Merit, GPA 3.4/4.00), and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics from the University of Lagos (GPA 4.53/5.00). These qualifications have given me a deep understanding of subjects such as material physics, advanced optics, statistical physics, and geophysics.

Over eight years, I have employed various teaching methods to meet different learning needs. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Cleveland State University, I managed classrooms, conducted experiments, and provided tutoring in introductory physics both virtually and one-on-one. I led lab sessions, ensured safety, and assessed student progress. Additionally, my role as a Graduate Research Assistant involved using MATLAB and Python for data analysis, enhancing my ability to teach complex subjects.

Before my graduate studies, I was a Physics and Mathematics Teacher at MD Services in Lagos, Nigeria, from August 2016 to August 2022. I prepared high school students for the General Certificate Examination (GCE), offering one-on-one and group mentorship. My volunteer work with the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) involved tutoring mathematics and physics for over ten years, highlighting my dedication to education and mentorship.

My teaching experience spans classroom settings, one-on-one sessions, virtual tutor and volunteer contexts, allowing me to adapt to various learning environments and effectively engage students of different ages and backgrounds. Emphasizing communication, empathy, and problem-solving, I am committed to helping students achieve their academic goals and develop a passion for learning.
