I am an enthusiastic and experienced teacher who enjoys the challenge of explaining concepts to younger students who sometimes have difficulty in understanding.

I tend to use a combination of Powerpoints and shared platforms such as Onenote to work with students. I like to be able to present concepts clearly, but I believe that slowly working through a process is important for student understanding, hence I use a writing tablet most of the time. Using a platform like Onenote also allows the student to respond in real-time and later look back at notes when needed.

I believe an essential aspect to both online and in class learning is consistently and effectively questioning students to assess their progress and engagements. For online classes, I often allow the student time to independently work without distraction, without support, for a few minutes at a time, to effectively challenge the student.

Although much of the learning is done during the time I spend with the student, most consolidation work should be done by the student in their own time. I believe that additional self-assessments skills are critical and would always encourage students to practice as much as possible independently.
