Hello there!

Learning is the greatest fun there is!

Here are some pointers as to why I may be a great fit for you:

1. Knowledge and experience in the field of medicine.
2. Good communication and teaching skills.
3. Ability to explain complex medical concepts in a simple and understandable way.
4. Patience and ability to cater to different learning styles.
5. Availability and willingness to answer student questions.
6. Ability to create engaging and interactive lessons.
7. Ability to keep updated with the latest advancements in medicine.
8. Lastly, medicine and science is a lot of fun and sometimes takes some patience to grasp certain concepts. One secret is to be open to asking any question at all and to never be afraid of wrong answers/being wrong - that is how we all learn!

Best,
Dr Shed Akolokwu
