In 2020, I started tutoring students online to offer alternative aid to their studies during covid-19 pandemic. Since I have been working from home, I have spent the few hours left after job to offer tutorial services to statistics and mathematics students at a small fee. 3 students turned to 5, 5 turned to 10 students and the number kept growing. The students loved the sessions and currently the number stands at 6000 students distributed globally. I have doubled the tutoring hours to effectively cover the students' needs and my general availability to address students tasks.
I have done sessions on " decision making and problem solving" for IT students as support services to other discipline.
