I completed my IGCSE in 2017 and earned my bachelor's degree in dentistry in 2022.Started to work as a biology Teacher with over 2 years of experience fostering a passion for science in students. Committed to creating engaging, hands-on learning environments that promote critical thinking and a deep understanding of biological concepts. I tend to use several teaching methods to make biology more fun not only a subject in a book by:
1. Active Learning
Engage the student with hands-on activities and practical experiments where possible. This helps make abstract concepts more tangible. For example, use simple experiments to demonstrate biological processes like osmosis or photosynthesis.
Ask probing questions that encourage critical thinking. Prompt students to explain their reasoning, not just memorize facts.
2. Visual Aids
Diagrams and charts: Use detailed diagrams to explain complex structures, such as the cell structure, human anatomy, or plant systems. Color-coded visuals can make understanding easier.
Interactive tools: Use 3D models or interactive apps to explore biological structures in more depth, especially for difficult topics like cellular biology or molecular genetics.
3. Active Recall and Spaced Repetition
Use active recall techniques where students are encouraged to recall key terms, definitions, and concepts from memory. This strengthens retention.
Introduce spaced repetition by reviewing older material periodically, helping the student consolidate long-term memory.
4. Assess and Reflect
Give the student regular feedback on their progress. Use quizzes, short assignments, or oral presentations to check for understanding.
Have the student reflect on what they’ve learned and identify areas where they feel less confident so you can focus on those areas.
