My history in teaching stems from my days back at University when I started helping my nephews and nieces with their homework and that is when I realised I have another calling which I ought to take sometime in the future and, that time is now. In my previous company as well, I was in charge of interns whose duty was to conduct surveys as part of the projects we did. I was a brand ambassador at work and ,part of the roles include coaching new recruits and familiarise them with company procedures and the general work culture . I enjoy reading and I have a culture of keeping a journal and writing down new words so as to improve my vocabulary and grammar, though I am a Native Speaker.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
My teaching style is student-oriented and aims to minimise Teacher Talk Time (TTT) and avoid a helicopter-style of leadership. One of my core beliefs even before this platform when teaching someone is to treat them as an individual and thus getting to the core of the issue they are facing and moving on from there. I am a good listener, and that is one fundamental aspect of being a good teacher. Teaching means putting myself in a student's shoes and how badly they want to learn English. Constructive Criticism and good error-correcting are good forms of giving someone feedback so they do not lose confidence in themselves.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I would describe my teaching style as both coaching and results-driven. By following a PPP style, I aim at lessening Teacher Talk Time. I would ask questions and through the aid of demonstrations and group activities, students should then find the answers. And because students vary in their ability to grasp information, I find it important to group the strongest with the weakest so they could help them improve. At the same time, lessons are not the same, so I plan to adapt my lessons according to my audience and their level of discipline. In each lesson, I would model an activity and then elicit their understanding through Instruction Checking Questions.
