My lessons are structured to be engaging, interactive, and tailored to each student's individual needs and interests. I believe that learning should be both fun and practical, so I incorporate a mix of traditional academic work with hands-on activities like cooking, gardening, and even educational days out. This approach helps students learn important skills in a real-world context while keeping them motivated and excited about what they’re doing.

I start by assessing the student's current abilities and learning style, which allows me to customise the lesson plans to suit their specific goals. Each lesson typically begins with a brief review of previous material to reinforce understanding before introducing new concepts.

I use a mix of teaching methods, from hands-on activities to visual aids and discussion-based learning, depending on the subject matter and the student’s preferences. Whether we're working on academic skills like literacy and numeracy, or focusing on personal development and life skills, I always aim to make the content relatable and enjoyable. I also include opportunities for students to ask questions, share their thoughts, and engage in problem-solving tasks, which keeps the lessons dynamic and student-centered.

With experience in supporting students with varying levels of ability, including those with learning difficulties or behavioral challenges, I bring patience and a nurturing approach to each session. My goal is to build not only academic skills but also self-confidence and resilience in my students, helping them to feel empowered in their learning.
