Lecturer in Foundation Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science
Lecturer for Foundation Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science modules
Academic tutor for International Foundation Programme students.
Areas of interest
My interest lies in developing customised assessments that bridge gaps in students learning. I am also interested in the use of Artificial Intelligence and educational technology for developing learning materials and promoting students’ engagement for improved learning outcomes. I draw on the principles of Constructive Alignments, Universal Design for Learning and multimedia learning to improve learning materials for better students learning experience.Background
Before joining the University of Reading, I supported module coordination for the Foundation and Advanced Statistics modules at the University of the West of England Bristol’s International College (UWEBIC), where I taught the Foundation and A level Maths, Foundation Statistics (Foundation Programme), Quantitative Methods for Business (International Year One Programme) and Advanced Statistics (Pre-master’s programme).
I started teaching after I completed my teacher training (in Physics – Chemistry) at the Federal College of Education Zaria, Nigeria in the year 2005. Since then, I have taught Maths, Chemistry, Core Maths, Statistics in various schools and colleges in Nigeria and the UK including Genius International Secondary School(GISS), Baptist High School(BHS), Brookstone Schools and IFY, Orchard School Bristol (OSB), OASIS Academy, Bristol Technology and Engineering Academy (BTEA), University of the West of England Bristol’s International College (UWEBIC).
