I tend to use simple vocabulary during my lessons. This ensures that the students do not have to scratch their heads mid-lesson while fumbling with a dictionary trying to find the meaning of something I said. I also allow any number of questions any student has about the topic being taught and otherwise because I believe that sometimes these discussions drive home concepts in a much more effective way. I also encourage students to read stuff other than their coursework and let their curiosities run wild. We can always try to find an answer using Physics!
I have been teaching for a very long time and started when I was a student myself. So I have a clear idea of which way works best when it comes to different students. I focus on improving problem-solving skills and original thinking and typically give a couple of questions for homework because we all know that regular practice makes us perfect. Any books I use and materials I use will be shared with the students so that they can refer to them anytime and anywhere. I also use online tools like graphing calculators etc as visual aids.
Other than that I try to be a supportive mentor and always ensure that I give the best possible learning experience to my students.
In the case of younger students, I wouldn't mind having a discussion with their parents/guardians if any extra effort/help/care is required. The same can be extended to the students of other grades too.
