Hello! I am Ikechukwu Okechi Kamalu, a First Class Graduate of Microbiology, and currently a Master's Degree student at the Department of Biostatistics, Faculty of Medicine, Near East University (Yakin Dogu Üniversitesi) Nicosia, North Cyprus. For over 5 years, I have been working with several individuals; students and their parents inclusive, in order 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, Chemistry, Physics, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Genomics, Microbiology, Immunology and Immunochemistry. 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 potentials 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 out of 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 assignment.
