Medical student teaching GCSE and A Level Biology

I deploy a very effective education protocol called the knowledge, application, and review
system. Or KAR. The knowledge part including the fundamentals and basics of the content.
Simply put, this can be considered the content that must be remembered. Application takes a step further. The application is designed to ensure my students do not remember the content, but understand it. This is because I strongly support the notion that
understanding a topic to the point you can teach it is the best way of retaining information.
Indeed, many scientific literatures support that 90% of information is remembered when
taught. I encourage my students to do this. The final part is review. This is not a summary.
But this is a response to practice tests that I have engineered. The tests I create are
designed so that students must get 85% at least to consider the test completed. Therefore, I will encourage students who do not achieve 85% to give themselves 24 hours. Within this 24 hour, they will relearn one section of the test they did bad on. Then, they will repeat the
test exactly 24 hours later. This review process ensures my students recall the parts they are good at and do not forget them, while simultaneously gearing them for the parts they are bad on.

On top of this, I deploy mostly diagrams with condensed but snappy notes. This can help
favour both right brained and left brained students. Additionally, I am someone who
consistently makes many jokes during the lesson. May these jokes be jokes that help my
students remember the content, may these jokes be jokes that tease my students when
they make a mistake, or may they be jokes to guarantee full participation and attention
throughout the lesson. For this reason, I am considered as one of the most fun teachers my students have ever got. They enjoy being part of my lesson because I make the lesson a hobby for them.

Finally, for Biology, I use my medical knowledge to teach my students extra. This helps them to understand firstly why they are learning the content, but also helps in the application section of my teaching that I have talked about previously.
