Born to a sound English teacher, my mom, I have learnt, written and spoken English just as much as my mother tongue, if not more. English language has been my only medium of instruction throughout my education. All through my elementary school, I placed top and won various awards for my English language proficiency. And despite being a science student during my secondary education, I was an outstanding member of the literary and debating society, participating in various inter-school competitions at both state and national level, my most remarkable being placing 2nd in the Wole Soyinka International Cultural Exchange Essay Competition (WSICE 2016).

As a medical student, I undertook both virtual and on-site summer elective courses in Nigeria, USA and UK, with English being my communication medium. Schooling in an international faculty has taught me how to communicate with people of diverse English language background, as well as providing nonjudgemental corrections.

Just as with patients, building a relationship based on trust and genuine willingness to help is my core teaching principle. I take into consideration that 'fingers are not equal' and meet my students at their respective level of English use. I recently took the OET Medicine to start off my medical career; and this has not only exposed me to higher usage, but has enabled me to understand how daunting this must be for students. With this in mind, I am more committed to giving my all to ensure that my students become confident users of English language.
