About Toju Omatete
An effective and innovative academic coach, counselor and teacher of non-traditional and underserved youth ages 16-24 with 11 years experience facilitating “personal empowerment and self belief through academic success”. I managed all pedagogic aspects of a successful General Education Development (GED) program for 8 years, and was recognized for program effectiveness and consistent student GED success rates above 80% vs. 64% district-wide average. Established practical approach to engaging non-traditional students utilizing my creative (trained actor) and “multicultural chameleon” backgrounds, natural aptitude for explaining basic math, writing and problem solving concepts, and strong interpersonal skills. Excited to bring my experience to the university setting as part of a comprehensive support team - academic advising, tutoring, leadership and life skills development - for non-traditional students seeking to thrive in their college experience!” Academic coaching | Mentoring | Teaching | Assessing academic strengths and weaknesses | Academic support | Youth development | Adult education | Facilitating “personal empowerment and self belief through academic success” for \'non-traditional\' students | GED test preparation | GED program management
