I’ve been teaching for 12 years. Started at the Montessori level, three years at elementary school, four years at secondary school and I've been a private tutor for the last three years teaching students across KS1 to KS4 levels. Learned a lot along the way, especially what teaching methods work best with various classes, students and subjects.
The core of my teaching methodology includes both traditional and technology based techniques. The main focus is to be able to deliver knowledge in a simple and meaningful way to students. Primarily by teaching fundamentals as well as relating the subject topics to real life situation as it is important for a tutor to be willing to adopt new pedagogy when necessary, and also seek to improve his or her teaching methods.
This learning and teaching process has greatly shaped and influenced my delivery methods and has vastly improved and strengthened my capabilities as a tutor. I believe the duty of a tutor is not limited to the effective delivery of the course material.
A tutor must take a holistic approach in his lessons by inspiring and encouraging students to greater heights in order to achieve their full potentials. The tutor must help cultivate a good study habit and where applicable the tutor must inspire life lessons such as work ethics, confidence, independence and discipline. This information passed along to the students in a subtle way has the potential of shaping their lives positively long after they have taken the class and parted ways with the tutor.
