Lecture-based (or didactic) teaching is something I aim to avoid, since this method seldom works for pupils struggling with a subject. For that reason, I'm a huge proponent of the question-answer strategy. It allows students to come to conclusions using their current knowledge base, and because it highlights areas of deficiency in real time

I've given a brief overview of my teaching strategy below:

1. Introducing the Concept:
Engagement: Before delving into any lesson, we collaboratively decide on the focal concept, ensuring optimal student engagement.
Presentation: Leveraging multimedia tools such as videos, diagrams, or illustrative examples, I present the subject content in a comprehensible manner.
Guided Exploration: With the foundational principles established, we navigate through guided examples. This critical phase aims to pinpoint and rectify misconceptions or erroneous thought patterns. Depending on the topic's intricacy, this segment may encompass a quarter to a third of our session's duration.

2. Immersive Practice:
Supervised Application: The learner will delve into meticulously chosen questions, testing both their comprehension and practical application abilities.
Diverse Materials: My resources range from worksheets and exam papers to tailor-made questions crafted specifically for the student's needs. This portion typically constitutes about half of the lesson's duration.

3. Constructive Feedback & Forward Planning:
Analysis: We collaboratively discuss the student's performance, highlighting strengths and areas needing further refinement.
Actionable Insights: Together, we'll draft a concise action plan for continuous improvement.
Open Dialogue: The session concludes with a mutual feedback mechanism, ensuring clarity and setting the stage for future lessons.

I've taught Biology for four years at the GCSE level, and obtained a BSc in Biomedical sciences. Currently, I'm in my final year of medical school in London
