Patient & Effective Math Tutor | Former Navy Instructor

Akindele A.

My qualifications for tutoring stem from a unique blend of academic achievement and practical experience. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from American Public University, demonstrating a strong foundation in analytical and problem-solving skills, essential for effectively teaching mathematical concepts. Beyond my academic background, I served as a tutor for fellow sailors in the U.S. Navy, specifically focusing on geometry. This experience provided invaluable hands-on training in tailoring my teaching approach to individual learning styles and needs, working with diverse students in one-on-one settings. I honed my ability to explain complex ideas in a clear, concise manner, ensuring students grasped the fundamental principles and could apply them confidently. My approach emphasizes patience, clear explanations, and regular check-ins to gauge progress and make necessary adjustments to my teaching strategies.

My time in the Navy wasn't simply focused on tutoring; I also developed strong leadership and communication skills through roles such as Administrative Manager and Analyst Manager. These experiences reinforced my ability to organize information effectively, manage my time efficiently, and maintain clear communication—all vital skills when working with students. The structured environment of the Navy also instilled in me a strong work ethic and dedication to achieving positive outcomes. My goal as a tutor is to instill confidence in each student’s math abilities, creating a supportive environment where they can flourish and develop a genuine appreciation for the subject. I’m prepared to leverage my combined experience and educational background to create a dynamic and effective learning environment for any student needing assistance.
