Core Skills
I have eleven core skills that make me effective as a Lecturer. These
include, an ABILITY TO WORK WELL WITH A DIVERSE RANGE OF PEOPLE,
both in terms of the students I am teaching and also the staff who make up the University or
College administrative and lecturing teams. I am HIGHLY ORGANIZED and able to
PLAN MY WORK AND CREATE LESSON PLANS accordingly to DELIVER
CONSISTENTLY HIGH STANDARDS of teaching. I have EXTENSIVE & IN-DEPTH
KNOWLEDGE of my subject matter, which means my students get to learn above and
beyond the minimum standard. I also have excellent WRITTEN AND VERBAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS, and I would like to consider myself to be a HIGHLY
EFFECTIVE PRESENTER who has an understanding of HOW TO DELIVER
COMPLEX LESSONS that would otherwise be difficult for students to understand. Finally,
I have a STRONG WORK ETHICS, an ADAPTABLE AND FLEXIBLE APPROACH
TO TEACHING, and also the ability to BUILD STRONG, PROFESSIONAL
RELATIONSHIPS with all of my students.
Teaching Style
I believe my approach to teaching is made up of two different styles:
Authority and Facilitator. The authority aspect is based on many years’ of experience as a
Lecturer and also the in-depth knowledge I have of my subject. I feel I have a responsibility
to impart my knowledge onto my students and to also encourage them to listen, absorb the
content and use it in a manner they seem suitable to their academic needs. The facilitator
aspect of my teaching is based on the fact that no two students learn the same. This means I
have a responsibility as a Lecturer to cater for all students within my class and to direct them
how to use the information I am imparting based on their educational needs. Although I have
always found my approach to teaching effective, I understand there is also a need to be
flexible in your style, as you may come across different types of students and you may also
be required to undertake lessons at short notice that are outside of your comfort zone.
