About the role

A private tutor works one to one or with small groups to close learning gaps and prepare students for exams such as WAEC and JAMB. You find where a student is stuck, plan tailored lessons, report progress to parents and turn up on time, every time. The panel wants reliability and results.

Prepare an example of a student you helped improve and how you did it.
Know the syllabus and exam format for the subjects you teach.
Think through how you report progress to parents simply and honestly.
Be ready to explain how you handle a student who is not motivated.

Common mistakes

Promising grades instead of explaining how you will help.
Teaching the same way for every student.
Ignoring the reliability side of the job, such as punctuality and cancellations.
