I have experience teaching English as a Foreign Language in a South American country for over a year, to primary school aged children. It was living here where I also learnt Spanish. Biology has also been a passion of mine since I studied it for GCSE and then A-Level.

For English as a Foreign Language lessons, we would focus on conversational practice, learning new verbs and conjugations and also doing activities for spelling and writing practice. As I have experience learning a second language, I will use the helpful techniques which furthered my own learning and apply them to my teaching. As stated above, I taught English as a Foreign Language for over a year to primary school aged children, which is where I found the passion for teaching EFL. We will use a variety of conversational activities, reading exercises and listening tasks, for interactive learning,
For Biology lessons, we would be using a variety of techniques, activities and practices depending on the level of the student and the content needed to be studied. These practices and activities include practice questions, using different techniques of learning the content and remembering it, short answer and long answer questions, mindmaps etc. In my lessons I hope to build the student's confidence in their studies and to curate their own effective studying habits. In topics which the students find harder, the content will be broken down in a simpler way to ensure understanding.
