PATRICK OSELOKA

An experienced teacher, lecturer, career coach and mentor, I am Dr. Patrick Oseloka Ezepue, holding a BSc, MSc, and PhD in Statistics, along with a Postgraduate Certificate for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education from Sheffield Hallam University, UK, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration from Manchester Business School, UK. I have recently worked as a GCSE Maths Tutor at a vocational college. With over 20 years of private teaching experience in Mathematics, Statistics, and Physics, and more than 30 years of lecturing in Mathematics, Statistics, and Business at various universities worldwide, I bring a unique approach to education. My teaching style incorporates humour to alleviate anxiety around Mathematical Sciences and I am patient, ensuring students grasp the fundamental concepts of each topic and understand how they are assessed. I prepare students for exams by practicing past papers, helping them achieve top grades in their GCSE O and A Levels, contingent on their effort. As a former GCSE Examiner in Statistics and Critical Thinking for Cambridge OCR, I guide students on how to effectively present their work to secure full marks for methods and correct answers. At the university level, I teach the technical subject matter and introduce proven frameworks for structuring coursework assessments, aiming for the highest grades, supported by my expertise in Study Skills.

Tutoring Approach

I infuse humour into my lessons to alleviate students' anxiety towards Mathematical Sciences. My teaching approach is patient, ensuring students grasp the fundamental concepts of each topic thoroughly and understand how they are assessed. By working through past papers, I prepare students for exams, thus empowering them to attain top grades in their GCSE O and A Levels, contingent upon their effort. My experience as a GCSE Examiner in Statistics and Critical Thinking for Cambridge OCR over two years equips me to guide students on the most effective ways to present their work and secure full marks for methodology and correct answers. At the university level, I do more than just teach the technical content; I introduce students to proven frameworks that help structure their coursework assessments and achieve high distinctions, a practice augmented by my expertise in Study Skills.
