Since my first year at Durham University, I have gained extensive experience teaching students from KS3 to A-Level in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I have completed online courses provided by a previous company I have worked for, allowing me to learn more about delivering lessons to students more effectively to ensure the student is understanding the content and reaching their full potential.
As an educator, I think it is essential to understand that each student learns differently and at their own pace, demonstrating the importance of one-to-one learning. I always ensure that I am aware of the students’ learning style and their knowledge base prior to the first lesson. This allows me to adapt my lesson preparation to suit each individual student. Through many experiences, I have been able to strengthen my ability to adapt to individual students’ learning needs, across a wide range of age groups.
Student progression is not only achieved through engaged and focused lessons but also through having a positive teacher-student relationship, which ultimately creates an open and relaxed learning environment. A factor which I strongly believe encourages a student to enjoy learning and therefore achieve their goals.
