I like visual learning a lot. I think it really helps with cognitive learning. There are video aids and tools that make learning this way fun and exciting.
For instance, if I have to teach about a leaf, beforehand I will give students instruction to find different types of leaves that describe what the curriculum states. This way the more they interact with the topic directly the easier it will be for them to remember when it’s time for them to write about it in an examination.
Also, learning should be fun and not just about passing examinations, this way true knowledge will be impacted as opposed to putting kids under pressure to memorize volumes of information just to get promoted to the next level.
I also like to understand each student I teach as I’ve come to realize that everyone learns differently. If a child is not doing well, I will spend some time to interact with this kid just to figure out where their interests lies. No student is unreachable and students who seem non chalant sometimes turn out to be the best students in the end once you identify their pain points and deliver solutions to their challenges to learning.

Watching students your mentor and tutor graduate in flying colours is typically the highlight of my career in teaching as it brings immense joy and a sense of fulfillment to me.

I have taught students both formally and informally for at least 10 years and I love it.
