I use Zoom, doing 1hr lessons, with the aim of completing the syllabus and leading the students to above 90%.
I start by thoroughly preparing, reviewing the student's past performance and current needs to tailor the lesson plan accordingly. At the beginning of the session, I would greet the student warmly and outline the session's goals to set clear expectations.
To keep the student engaged, I would use a variety of interactive tools such as digital whiteboards, screen sharing, and educational software. Breaking down complex concepts into manageable parts, I would use real-world examples and analogies to make the material relatable. Throughout the lesson, I would encourage active participation by asking open-ended questions to stimulate critical thinking and ensure comprehension.
I aim to keep the lesson dynamic, adjusting the pace and focus based on the student's responses and needs. By being attentive, I can provide immediate feedback and positive reinforcement to build the student's confidence. I also strive to be patient, creating a supportive environment where the student feels comfortable asking questions and expressing difficulties. I can send feedback on the lesson, reflecting on what went well and what could be improved for future sessions. This continuous loop of preparation, engagement, and feedback ensures that each online lesson is effective, personalised, and conducive to the student’s academic growth.
As the session draws to a close, I would summarize key points to reinforce learning and assess the student's understanding through quick quizzes or interactive exercises. Assigning relevant, manageable homework would help solidify the concepts covered.
