Hello! I am Ikechukwu Okechi Kamalu, a graduate of Biostatistics (CGPA: 4/4; Distinction) from the Department of Biostatistics, Faculty of Medicine, Near East University, Nicosia, Northern Cyprus, and a First Class Graduate of Microbiology from the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Science, University of Abuja, Nigeria. For over 6 years, I have been working with several individuals; students and their parents inclusive, to bring out the best in them. I am not only equipped with theoretical skills; I have excellent hands-on practical experiences in several fields of Science, including, Statistics, Biostatistics, Chemistry, Physics, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Genomics, Microbiology, Immunology, Immunochemistry, etc. In addition to working in the academic setting, I have worked in the Hospital setting as a Medical Laboratory Technician; hence, I understand a whole lot about the biological structure and functionality of the human body and those of other organisms. And, these experiences have enabled me to effectively teach for these years. I believe that every child has great potential locked up within them, waiting to be unlocked by a dedicated, loving, caring and astute teacher. Hence, it has been my resolve over these years, to bring out the best in every child I get the opportunity to tutor. And, I have been able to produce smart kids because of this philosophy. I am conversant with the use of a digital whiteboard, and other computer applications, that could make the online class look like a physical class. There is no dull moment in my class; I make sure I engage my students so that they would see that learning is so easy! I have gotten a lot of commendations and recommendations from my past students and their parents, as my students always ace their exams, homework and assignments.
