I personalize each lesson to suit the age group I'm teaching. For instance, in GCSE lessons, I begin with a Starter activity, typically a retrieval task or a warm-up to stimulate engagement. Following that, I introduce a scenario relevant to the topic to deepen understanding.

In contrast, BTEC lessons start with a Starter focused on previous assignment tasks, fostering continuity between past and current learning objectives. I seamlessly link these tasks to the lesson content, providing a practical framework for application. Throughout the lesson, students engage in tasks that mirror assignment requirements, facilitating smoother transitions when working on their assignments.

However I can alter each lesson according to the needs of my student and how the student prefers.

In preparation for exams, my approach emphasizes ample practice, breaking down concepts into manageable chunks. Students tackle a series of bite-sized exercises before progressing to authentic exam-style questions. By gradually introducing past paper questions, students develop confidence and proficiency, ultimately positioning themselves to achieve top grades, whether aiming for an A* or a distinction*.
