My name is Gbenga Paul. My first name means "Lifted". I live in Lagos, Nigeria and i'm passionate about helping people get better.
I'm quite inquisitive so I try to learn something new everyday and I believe I can learn from everybody and anybody. I detest dishonesty.
Making friends and meeting new people gives me great joy. I like to keep fit and I love sports a lot.
I like hiking, camping, gardening, travelling, painting, reading, and teaching.
I also love good movies and I have a soft spot for pets.
Me as a Teacher
I believe anyone can achieve whatever they set their mind to because a situation is as difficult as you make it and when you believe you can do something, your goal is half achieved. I love to help people on their journey to their goal and that's how I became interested in teaching without even realizing it.
I started teaching (online and offline) long before i joined italki. I excel in teaching languages and a lot other stuffs.
I look forward to meeting you.
My lessons & teaching style
I always make my lessons lively and interesting so as to make you learn as you enjoy yourself. My methods will enable you learn seamlessly and remember what you learn effortlessly. I will make friends with you first so as to make you feel relaxed and excited during each lesson.
Questions will be both ways between us, as I will like each lesson to be worthwhile not just for you, but for me as well.
Your improvement and satisfaction is my priority.
it was a great lesson with Paul. he is really supportive and fun :) we recommend him as a teacher for you
