I have taught basic physics for more than seven years and I believe in teaching through activities and examples close to us in daily lives. I used to fail every math and physics exam back in school until I started approaching these subjects in a different way. I started relating everything to real life. Like did you know the more force you apply to a ping pong ball the higher it will go? because the motion of the ball is dependent on the force applied to it by any external means and in this example that is you. Relating each subjects to real life scenarios helps students to create a sense of familiarity with each topic that is being taught. This thought process has always proven to be a success in my educational path. From not doing so well in my first two years of GCSEs to ending up with straight A's, I know what it's like to go up the ladder after changing an approach to absorbing material.
I believe structure and organisation is very important when it comes to teaching. Letting your students know what all they will cover in the teaching period gives them a clearer idea of what's to come and what needs to be done. It allows students to manage and plan their time accordingly.
