I believe that my greatest strength as as teacher is my ability to break concepts down and explaining them in a way that students can relate to, helping them overcome any misconceptions or difficulties they might have. I like to work with students on problems rather that talk at them, using a “model / your turn” approach to demonstrating concepts and an interactive whiteboard to provide an interesting and engaging learning environment.
The “model / your turn” approach allows students to be shown solutions to problems in real time, helping to solidify their understanding and allowing them to see what they need to do at each stage and ask questions if necessary. Students are then provided with a similar problem to practice the method they have just seen with immediate feedback, before moving on to further practice questions or a slightly different problem.
