Experience

Teaching style

My teaching style varies greatly depending on the subject and the students. For example, the way I taught year 5 English, is very different to how I would teach a year 9 advanced maths class. In saying that, I teach for understanding. Students need to know the WHY and the HOW before they can properly learn a new skill properly, applying it to an unfamiliar situation. I combine teacher directed instruction with student centred learning and cooperative learning, dependent on the topic and the desired outcome of the lesson. I like to think I take the best bits of all styles!
