We are here to help you prepare for success

Dear Unilag post UTME and Foundation Programme entrance examination aspirant, how are you? Remember that the easiest way to gain admission into the University of Lagos is by scoring high in your entrance exams hat you make the merit list for your chosen course.

This is very achievable but it requires seriousness and hard work on the part of the aspirant in preparing for the exams.

That is what we are about here at www.LagTutor.com – to help you prepare for ultimate success through little by little, well thought out preparation.

About LagTutor.com

LagTutor.com is a web project that informs and prepares candidates for success in their University of Lagos (Unilag) post UTME and Foundation Programme entry examinations.

The project was born in 2011 after the realisation that many candidates fail in their aspirations to gain undergraduate admission into University of Lagos because of poor information about admission requirements and poor preparation for their entry examinations.

We have seen races where ‘C’ students succeeded in making the Unilag merit list and ‘A’ students failed same goal dramatically. We have observed that the difference between success and failure usually lies in having the right information to make correct decisions and preparing with a good study plan for the Unilag entry examinations.

To address the difference between success and failure we developed appropriate tools using relevant data, rigorous academic research, powerful web technologies and the experience of a team who know what it takes to succeed in gaining admission into the University of Lagos through the proper channels.

We are in the 6th year of implementing the LagTutor.com project and over the years we have provided many candidates with tools and services that helped them successfully gain admission into Unilag. We have made many students and parents happy in the last 6 years.

We have their testimonies.

In our course of implementing the LagTutor.com project we have received requests from candidates for help during their examinations. Every time we received such request we politely but firmly declined. Our service is strictly to inform and prepare adequately for the entry examinations. Our support service ends days to the entry examinations.

Our philosophy is guided by the knowledge that the easiest way to gain undergraduate admission into Unilag is through good preparation guided by good information. The LagTutor.com project is our tool to facilitate the goal.

We are always working hard to ensure we deliver our service to candidates and their parents using the best of web technologies. Our satisfaction comes when our candidates successfully gain admission into the University of Lagos to embark on academic programmes that will lead to the fulfilment of their life dreams.

Sincerely,
LagTutor.com team.
