Hi there! I'm Tami Okono, and I'm excited to be your tutor. I'm currently studying Economics and I'm in my final year at University. I'm 20 years old and I really like the colour green. When I'm not studying, you can usually find me cooking up something tasty or playing table tennis. Levels & subjects I teach PRIMARY: MATHEMATICS LOWER LEVEL: MATHEMATICS GCSE: SCIENCE , MATHEMATICS,BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, GEOGRAPHY , HISTORY Exam Board experience: -AQA, Edexcel, CAMBRIDGE Languages: ENGLISH - Native level FRENCH - Beginner level Preferred student age group: PRIMARY GCSE I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Economics (BSc Business and Economics) at the University of Leicester. Prior to this, I attended Steyning Grammar School in the UK, where I studied Mathematics, Economics, and Psychology for my A-levels. These subjects provided me with a strong analytical foundation and a deeper understanding of human behavior, which are invaluable assets in the field of economics. Before my time in the UK, I completed my early education through secondary school at Greensprings School in Nigeria, where I developed a passion for learning and a global perspective on education.

I have worked as a lecturer at De Montfort University for over 15 years. I hold a PGCE in further Education, an MA in English Language Teaching, and a BA honours in English. I taught English for Academic Purposes at university. This enabled me to develop various teaching approaches at different levels of English usage. I have also taught KS3-KS5 in the UK and abroad during which I have been observed several times and demonstrated that I was outstanding. I have used various teaching aids ranging from pictures, flash cards, to a variety of IT techniques. I have also used peer interaction and assessment to develop learners. Teaching at university enabled me to teach presentation skills. This has enabled me to do the same during training, coaching and mentoring sessions with colleagues. I have mentored a number of tutors. In my experience as a university lecturer I have used a variety of online platforms to teach students during the Covid-19 pandemic. I began my journey into English in 2002 when I did a BA (hons) in English at Demontfort university. Following this I did an MA in Children’s Literature in 2005 due to my immense love of reading. However, it was only when I landed a job at a resources centre that I decided to specialize in teaching and so I did a PGCE in education and an MA in English language teaching both in 2007-2009. I absolutely love teaching since then - as cliche as it sounds it is truly my passion and the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I love my students and to see them excel truly makes me content. I’ve been told that I have a gift for building a rapport with learners and I to feel this is something that comes naturally to me because as a student I myself struggled with being misunderstood and branded as a ‘bad student’. I feel as a result I can relate to students and their struggles more easily. I’m also very patient and an excellent listener.

I am a university student who is passionate about working with children. I am currently working towards a degree in educational psychology, with an interest in safeguarding, SEND and mental health. I have 3 years of experience being a tutor. I have also spent time within the classroom.

I have experience in one-on-one and group settings, using effective methods to meet academic needs. Outside of tutoring, I work as a registered chemical technician validating test results in a US-based laboratory, spend time with my German Shepherd and Yellow Labrador, travel, enjoy food, and continuously enhance my skills.
