My style of teaching is more interactive where I start by introducing the topic, then providing a lesson structure, explaining and illustrating concepts to students, getting feedback and questions from students. I make sure I check in at regular intervals to ensure my students are moving at the same pace in terms of understanding. I invite and pose questions to check whether indeed I have successfully reached the students in explaining concepts.
I always make sure to repeat myself and also rephrase my explanations, use a lot of practical examples to help students visualise the concept being used in real life. Once I have done this, to evaluate whether learning has taken place, I always give my students a question to try. More often than not I would take them through the question to set them up before they try it. I have seen that this strategy does not only benefit me as a teacher but also the students as it gives them the opportunity to test their knowledge.
Before ending the lesson, I do a recap of what was taught during the lesson and re-emphasise key points as take-aways. I would also give students some work to do at home or even in groups outside class time. After 2 or 3 related topics, I bring in an assessment or progress test, not only to evaluate learning but to instill in students the discipline of going over what was taught in class on their own.
