Top in the country

Peace Omotola

He was my tutor during my Cambridge A Level program where I not only had an A* grade in Biology, but I also won the Top in Biology in Nigeria prize in 2018 and 2019 Cambridge AS and A Level Examinations…. I can remember many moments of discouragement, but he never gave up on me. He continually supplied practice questions that helped me get more acquainted with the Cambridge A Level system…so he did with everyone of the 20 plus students that he taught….
