Marisa Mistry

I have a student-centered approach where my learning plans will be different based on the student's goals, learning style, and proficiency. I encourage active participation through discussions, asking questions, and engaging in activities.

How My Lessons Run
First Session: In the first session, I will conduct an initial assessment to evaluate the student's current level, strengths, and areas of weakness.

Normal Lessons:

Warm-Up Activity: Each lesson starts with a warm-up activity and a recap from the last lesson.
New Material: After checking the answers from the recap, we will move on to new material.
Interactive Activities: I will conduct an activity with the student, then let them do it themselves. We will discuss the answers and provide feedback.
Memory Activities: Throughout the lesson, I will incorporate memory activities to aid retention. This could involve key quotes or key thinkers.
Continuous Questions and Feedback: The student is encouraged to ask questions and request feedback at any point during the lesson.
Homework and Practice: I will provide homework and encourage continuous practice outside of tutoring sessions. Guardians will be updated on the progress of their child.

Progress Reviews: Every few weeks, I will conduct progress reviews and evaluate the student's progress to ensure they are on track for their target grade. Additionally, I will encourage students to engage with their subject in their daily lives, such as by reading books on the topic.

Experience-
Working as a supply teacher and covering lessons, alongside my role as a teacher assistant, has been an enriching and dynamic experience. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities as I step into different classrooms and adapt to diverse teaching styles and student needs. This role has honed my adaptability and quick-thinking skills, as I often need to deliver lessons with minimal preparation time. Supporting full-time teachers as an assistant has also allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of classroom management and instructional strategies. Whether guiding students through complex topics or providing one-on-one support, I find immense satisfaction in contributing to their academic growth and fostering a positive learning environment. This multifaceted role has not only strengthened my teaching abilities but also deepened my passion for education and student development.
