Teaching Philosophy
1. Interest
Igniting the interest of the students in a subject is extremely important. A student who is interested will be self-motivated and driven. This can be achieved by allowing them to taste small successes during the lessons. The incremental successes will lead to a greater sense of satisfaction when they are able to solve problems independently.
2. Clarity
Ensuring clarity in my delivery of the lessons is my second focus.
Lessons are normally conducted in two segments. Firstly, I would go through the concepts in a topic and provide real-life examples or analogies to illustrate the idea fully. This will help to ensure that the students are able to relate to what they have learnt, and hence able to apply the concepts in future questions when the given scenario differs.The second segment will focus on exposing the students to different variations of questions that may be tested for the topic by practising examination papers taken from the question bank. All questions would be aligned to the examination requirement.
3. Positive learning environment
Learning takes place best in an active and not passive environment. I aim to create a positive learning environment by building a strong rapport with my students. In a safe environment, students would feel more at ease to raise questions and doubts, without the fear of being judged. Students would also gain more from the interactions and improves on their cognitive learning.
