Raphael Udugba Early Child Educator, Sciences, Chess
No reviews yet

I am a dedicated tutor with over 5 years of experience in Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics (Algebra & Geometry) for students at GCSE / O'Level (SS1–SS3) and Grades 10–12. I also offer Chess coaching for early childhood learners, backed by hands-on classroom and nursery experience.

My teaching style is patient, structured, and conversational. I begin each student relationship by identifying their specific gaps and learning style, then build lessons around that, never a one-size-fits-all approach. I use real-world examples, guided questioning, and regular low-pressure assessments to track progress and keep students engaged.

I have worked with students individually and in groups of up to 30, across secondary schools and at university peer-tutoring level. Students I have supported have achieved an average success rate of over 80%, growing from struggling with basics to handling exam questions with genuine confidence.

For Chess, I have coached over 10 children aged 3–10 over the past 7 months. My sessions are structured progressively — introducing pieces one by one, building tactics gradually, and using puzzles tailored to each child's current level. I track and assess each learner's development using platforms like Lichess and Chess.com, ensuring measurable growth every step of the way.

The results have been rewarding with children who started not knowing how pieces move are now solving puzzles and thinking strategically.

What sets me apart is my ability to make difficult concepts feel simple, and my genuine investment in every student's growth not just their grades.
