What to Expect in My Lessons:

In my lessons, I strive to create a balanced mix of structure and adaptability, ensuring that each session is both engaging and effective. Typically, my lessons follow a clear format:

1. Introduction & Warm-Up: We start by connecting prior knowledge to new concepts, often through thought-provoking questions or brief discussions.

2. Core Content: I present the main topic using a variety of resources—texts, multimedia, and interactive activities—to cater to different learning styles.

3. Interactive Engagement: Students are encouraged to participate actively, whether through discussions, problem-solving tasks, or creative exercises.

4. Practice & Application: I include practical exercises to reinforce understanding and help students apply what they've learned in real-world contexts.

5. Reflection & Feedback: We conclude with a recap, addressing any questions and providing personalized feedback to support continued progress.

With experience spanning both structured educational environments like open all-day schools (OGS), private coaching and dynamic, real-world contexts such as a pub setting, I bring versatility and creativity into my teaching. My background in philosophy not only enhances critical thinking but also encourages students to view learning as an exciting journey of exploration and growth.

I believe that a good lesson not only imparts knowledge but also builds confidence and curiosity. My approach is student-centered, meaning I adapt to individual needs and learning paces, offering a safe space to ask questions, make mistakes, and celebrate achievements. My ultimate goal is to empower students to become independent thinkers who enjoy the process of learning since proper thinking is such a resource in a world full of information.
