About Me

I started my career attending a military high school in Nigeria where I learned basic discipline such as being timely, planning my schedule, and leadership skills. I then proceeded to a 6th form school where I obtained an Advanced Level Certificate in chemistry, mathematics, and physics from the Cambridge university examination board in Nigeria. After my 6th form education, I moved to New York and started college at BMCC. I spent about three semesters at BMCC then I transferred to City College where I intend to obtain a bachelors degree in bio-medical engineering. My future aspiration after my BSC is to go to graduate school for my masters and PHD at Princeton University. I also intend to join the United States Army where I plan to practice my bio-medical profession by helping the disabled veterans. I took particular interest in math back in Nigeria where I tutored students preparing them for their GED exam. I also volunteered with New York Cares (NYC), and I tutored in projects like computer training for adult and math games for middle and junior school students. Volunteering at NYC helped improve my teaching skills and expose me to knowing how and why students are scared of math. My approach to tutoring has basically been student dependent where I work at the student's pace and ensure accurate learning in my teaching sessions. Also I make math feel like its alive by using life examples and approach. I love playing soccer and watching movies at my free time.

Q&A with Sobur

As a math tutor, I believe in following my student’s pace and mixing up my teaching with real life applications. My students are at the center of my lesson planning process. My first goal is to create an atmosphere that encourages participation and involvement. Most people learn better if they know how it affects them physically or a better way to imagine; my goal is to make my students connect what they learn with their daily life. Doing this, things learned will stick better and at times makes them more attentive. Sometimes the simplest teaching techniques can work the best, so I use charts and diagrams and other visual representations to illustrate.
