I tend to use a variety of methods and lessons when teaching. It really is contingent upon the student/learner. I have been known to modify and adjust to accommodate students and create much of my curriculum as well. Platforms to use can be Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Classroom, whichever is more convenient for the student as well as accessible.
I love creating a fun environment, creating creative content and incorporating art and other subjects into the lessons as well. As a past student myself, I had to write plenty of essays, using MLA and APA format. These formats can be taught to the older student population as well. I tend to choose reading material that suits the student's personality. I'd like to know more about my students and engage in conversation to get a better understanding of who they are, that way it helps me to plan or assess if need be.
I also will use audio or visuals or graphs to help guide students as I work at their pace. I do not like to bombard students with loads of information or work at once, as this is not the way to learn. We all learn differently and at our on pace.
I have a son who is attending a university at this moment and will be graduating next year. I have worked with him as well but left much of it to many of his instructors, who did a phenomenal job working with him. Key is to have a great connection and relationship with your students.
