I am a very challenge driven problem solver. My lessons are aimed at any students from nursery up to KS4 and potentially KS5.

From my experience I tend to go more so with the flow of the pupil. Before every lesson I have a plan and a goal as to what I want to achieve in this lesson, I like to express this at the beginning of my lessons: "today we will do this ... for this long" etc. Then, based on the students being taught I will increase or decrease the pace whilst also presenting different questions on topics being taught at different intensities to not just understand if the students have fully understood a concept being taught but also to help give them every aspect of the easiest to toughest forms of questions that could come up to prepare better. In addition, when it comes to math I don't do presentations, as stated previously, I have a plan, I don't just decide the topics and layout of lesson but I also design every aspect of lesson form questions to ask pupils to how I will explain something. I will also ensure that not one student is left un-noticed. I do this by implementing an environment of acceptance of mistakes. I do this by starting off with a waiting of raise of hands to answer questions to see who is more willing to do so. I then like to keep a rough score of who keeps on raising their hands and participating. This is because a lack of participation could indicate a lack of confidence which is something I would have to look for. I then use this to as on students this is to test waters: some students don't like to say that they don't understand something infornt of everyone, so i ask them. Although this may seem like putting them on the spot, what I like to do is not wait for an answer, I like to break a problem down: if the question is 7(8+x), expand, I would ask what they think the 1st step may be and understand where they come from, I will then correct them if needed, and so forth. I also like to emphasise that mistakes are normal by stating that if someone made a mistake in explaining that this is normal and that I even do it too.
