We have all sat in a lecture and lesson and completely lost focus on what is being said. I aim for my lessons to be the opposite. I help my students understand topics through clear explanations using diagrams, mind maps, mnemonics or any of the various study techniques I have picked up and used on my way to and through medical school. My decision depends on whats worked for me in the past but also through experience with a student what will work best for them. Throughout explanations I engage students with questions on the topic to turn the explanation into a discussion. This ensures I know their knowledge gap is being filled efficiently.
Applying knowledge to exam questions is integral to exam success; therefore I consistently test students knowledge with questions. This helps find areas that may need more focus but also lets me pass on my exam technique experience ready for the big day. 
When teaching all these topics I aim to bring an enthusiasm to the lesson that is only possible when covering topics you have a passion for.
