Information about Opeyemi

Hi, I`m Ope, an experienced tutor since 2010 focusing on tutoring Chemistry online using an interactive whiteboard system (see more on this below). I am a Masters graduate (MSc in Green Chemistry) from the University of York BSc Chemistry with Biochemistry from Queen Mary University of London (both Russell Group universities).

I am aware that many students study with the concept of the sciences, especially Chemistry and Physics. The pressure can be daunting for a teen and I want to be able to make people `see` in a scientific way, be able to bring understanding so that they can take on any examination and achieve the grades they desire.

Availability: Please tell me your availability as I can often work around that.

General availability:
Weekdays 15:00 - 18:30
Saturdays AM (rescheduled sessions only)

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have been tutoring professionally since 2010 and have helped various students boost their confidence and achieve their goals. My students have come from all backgrounds and have ranged from Year 6 to 13. Most of my students have been studying for GCSEs, A-Level or IB

From my experience as a professional tutor, I have taught in several families with a majority of people seeking long term tuition.
I understand that students learn in various ways, so I try to structure my tutorials to suit individual needs. Generally however, I strive for a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and sometimes take an informal approach towards learning especially where the tougher concepts are concerned. I am always professional!

I implore hands-on techniques (where possible) and encourage participation and thought-provoking discussion. I encourage my students to ask "why?" While I work closely with mark schemes to ensure that students become familiar with exam technique, my goal is to help them become thinkers and not crammers, so they can apply their knowledge to any scenario. I encourage personal study and revision outside of the sessions and will often give tips about how to maximise the time outside of the sessions after studying a bit more about your learning style.

I use regular feedback mechanisms which can include tests or assignments (from multiple choice questions to essay-type exam-style questions) to assess understanding and progress. There will always be questions at the end of a session in some form to check understanding.

DBS Check: Yes

Opeyemi is an excellent and committed teacher! She is not only great in having a rich mastery of the subject matter, she knows how best to engage a learner through the process of knowledge transfer in a very adaptive and context-aware approach. She goes the extra mile to explain the principles and support the learner to own the learning process. Her friendly personality is a great asset to her students. My son and daughter are enjoying their Chemistry classes. She comes highly recommended.

Tutors Response :

Hi Bayo, thank you for your great feedback. I enjoy teaching your children and I am very glad they are enjoying their sessions with me so far!

I organised tutor sessions with Ope for my younger sister. My sister has a weekly two hour Chemistry session which has recently changed to one hour of Chemistry and one hour of Biology. These sessions are to help consolidate learning in preparation for her A levels. Tutor sessions are going very well. Lesson plans are well organised and focussed around topics suggested by my sister. Ope is easy to understand and regularly checks my sisters’ understanding as well as goes into more detail when required. My sisters’ Chemistry teacher has already noticed an improvement (tutor sessions started in Jan 2021). My sister is enjoying her tutor sessions and finding them very helpful - thank you Ope!

Tutors Response :

Hi Nadine

I`m very glad to hear your sister is enjoying the sessions and that her improvement is noticed by her teacher!

I have been working with Opeyemi for around a month now and I have seen a lot of improvement with my chemistry. She is helping me to become a much stronger student, and I am feeling much more confident in my class. Our sessions are structured well and we use a site that helps me to work directly with her, and allows me to save the work we do so I can refer back to it in my revision. Opeyemi has been kind, patient, and accommodating. I highly recommend trying a session with her!

Tutors Response :

Thanks for the recommendation, JB. It`s a pleasure tuitoring you and I`m glad you are enjoying the sessions!

Opeyemi started giving my 16 year old son A level Chemistry and Biology in September 2020 . I have been particularly impressed with her communication and teaching style . I note my son feels very relaxed and always looks forward to the sessions . My son has particularly liked the extensive use of past paper questions in bettering his understanding of the topics . He describes her as patient and she gives clear explanations to tricky topics.

Tutors Response :

Hi Femi
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am very pleased that your son enjoys the sessions!

Ope has worked with me for the past two months. She has been knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and able to suggest different approaches to problems so I can choose the best one for me. She is also very honest when a problem is difficult, which makes me feel validated, whilst also challenging me so that my skills are stretched. I`d highly recommend Ope as a tutor as I`ve seen my maths skills go from strength to strength working with her. I used to really dread and avoid any kind of maths questions, and now I`m actually enjoying it. She clearly loves tutoring, and is able to impart knowledge whilst building your confidence.

Tutors Response :

Hi Siobhan, thanks for your beautiful comments :) Pleasure`s mine.

Ope has tutored my son A level Chemistry online over the summer break. He has found the lessons very helpful and his confidence has grown tremendously. Ope is very knowledgeable, engaging and plans the sessions to help with areas where he is struggling while also helping him prepare for his upcoming A level exams. I would be glad to recommend Ope to anyone in need of Chemistry tutoring.

Tutors Response :

Hello Kay. Thank you for the lovely feedback. Pleasure tutoring your son!

Ope is a great teacher who thrives quite well during a longer lesson time frame. My only suggestion is for ideas to be introduced to make short lessons just as great an experience as the longer lessons, I know this is not easy, but something to think about. Variety of style is interesting but needs to work for each student, some students may like the incorporation of videos to watch within their lessons and some may just prefer a one on one experience, again just something to think about. I know Ope has a great career ahead of her.

Tutors Response :

Hi Olayiwola

Thanks for your kind feedback. By default, I have hourly sessions unless asked to extend by the client.
I`m sorry to hear that you did not appreciate the short videos, one of the benefits of online tutoring is that I can cater to different learning types by employing different resources during the session, which sometimes include short videos among other things but is never the focus/bulk of the session. Typically, students enjoy the occasional video/quiz, but I take your comments on board!

Best wishes

(I tutored this student a total of 2 hours over 2 weeks)

I learn so much with Ope, every lesson is engaging and we get through a lot of work. I’ve never felt confident with chemistry, and my understanding is massively increasing. My exam technique is also improving which is essential for A-level, as we do lots of practice questions. Overall the best tutor I’ve ever had!

Tutors Response :

Hey Elsa. Thanks for your kind feedback! I`m glad that you are finding the online sessions very helpful and engaging. Pleasure is all mine

Ope makes the subject biology more engaging and interesting to learn about. I would just like to be asked more questions about what we`re doing whilst going through the topics.

Tutors Response :

Thanks for the feedback, Alfie! I try to factor as many questions as possible during the session and also as homework but I hope you can appreciate that an hour is a limited time to teach and also have an extensive Q&A session. I usually set aside time for a "big" test after a few weeks of sessions :)

Thank you so much OPe and Tutorhunt, where I found her.
