My experience in teaching is to do with my family. A lot of my family work in schools and are teachers themselves. I have a level qualifications in English language, which taught me a method of teaching skills and how to analyse a child/adults writing and speaking, being able to accurately correct them where they need a bit of reinforcement and being able to correct them when they have mastered a subject. I also am currently attending university, meaning I am able to relate to my students as well, creating the strong bond needed for them to focus. Ideally I would start teaching them with some past paper questions relatable to whichever exam board they are sitting, so I can see what level they are at and what I need to work on myself to achieve a good grade for my student. I will then supply them myself with flash cards, and ask them which method of revision/retrieval interests them most. This way I can imbed correct English into the student, and make their knowledge expand by memorisation that they wouldn't find dull. Every month I will ask them to sit a past paper exam to see how they have improved/ what they are still struggling to come to terms with so we can go over subjects/topics together. I will also use both physical and non physical ways of teaching, such as using whiteboards and writing so they can copy and see, and talking through things so they get the most out of their learning. This is because we all learn in different ways and therefore I know the knowledge will be something they understand and can be happy with.
