Theoretical and Practical teaching incorporates professional study-skills . Flexible student-centred approach etc .
Also includes Industrial and Educational advice and experience..
If possible, I will use real and experimental models and will incorporate exam- based examples to illustrate and encourage confidence and nascent abilities.,
I also am keen on developing a love for the subject of Chemistry (and link it to other areas of expertise and knowledge..
My students will feel valued whatever their abilities..
Although I am extremely highly qualified, I had to overcome ill-health and self-confidence problems to get where I operate as a Professional .. This experience I share with humour and understanding and I strive to infuse enthusiasm in my lessons with my students..
Love of the subject (s) incorporated in Chemistry is as important as ability..
Problem-solving is based on a clear understanding of the theory and practice behind the task-in-hand..
Wherever the knowledge inherent in my students, I try to encourage their progress by drawing on existing knowledge and increasing it - and so their confidence.,
I will use IT as well as books and consideration of the background facts to enhance progress.. Commencing slowly and painstakingly at first, in order to
build-up confidence, I - together with my student(s) - will progress at a rate based on increasing the student(s) ability through worked examples of problems.. Initially, I/we will work at a rate governed by the student’s progress.. But this will naturally increase as the solution of problems progresses..
Nothing beats gradual enhancement of abilities through problem-solving ..As a student comes to appreciate their own progress, so their knowledge, skills and abilities will increase.,
