Brief description of subjects:
In my current classes I go through papers and homework to identify the weaker areas of my students and I give them practices to do accordingly. I help them practice spelling and I correct their grammar and tenses, I also teach them how to plan and structure their compositions eg. Using mind maps, PEEL structure etc. I like to teach vocabulary through more creative methods especially for my younger students, I let them learn through visuals and games eg. drawings, comics, storytelling games, rhyming games etc. I feel that it helps my students understand and remember words and phrases better. I also have a background in drama and writing so I can help with speech and delivery eg. Pronunciation, diction etc. as well as creative writing too. Overall, I take a more holistic approach towards teaching and I hope to be an engaging teacher to my students.
Online teaching experience:
I currently teach my Sec 2 student online. I compile practices into PDFs so she can directly write on it through zoom, I have her send me pictures of her papers and homework and I go through them with her over zoom as well.
