My history lessons are exceptionally engaging because they are thoughtfully designed to captivate your interest and foster a deep appreciation for the past. In terms of format, I believe in a balanced approach that combines interactive elements with traditional methods. We journey through history not just through dry lectures, but through dynamic discussions, debates, and engaging activities. This not only makes the lessons more enjoyable but also encourages critical thinking and active participation. The content is carefully curated, offering a mix of well-researched historical facts, primary sources, and compelling stories. We explore a wide range of captivating historical events and figures, from the sweeping narratives of empires to the intimate stories of individuals who shaped history. As for dynamics, I'm committed to creating a welcoming space where questions are encouraged, and where we dig deep into the historical context, encouraging you to understand the 'why' and 'how' behind historical events. Together, we'll embark on a journey that not only imparts knowledge but also sparks a lifelong passion for the fascinating tapestry of human history.

I excel in teaching both in person and remotely due to my adaptability and effective communication. My technological proficiency and student-centred approach ensure seamless transitions between the two settings, while my flexibility and passion for history create engaging learning experiences. I actively seek feedback, fostering continuous improvement, and inspiring students regardless of the medium. My ability to connect with and educate students in diverse environments showcases my versatility and dedication to quality education.

Being a beginner teacher shouldn't deter anyone because of my fresh perspective, enthusiasm, and strong commitment to learning and growth. I am adaptable and open to innovative teaching methods. I bring a passion for history and am dedicated to my students. While experience is valuable, effective teaching is not solely dependent on years in the profession. It's the willingness to learn, adapt, and connect with students that truly matters, and I am dedicated to assisting all my students to reach their maximum potential.
