My teaching style

Firstly & most importantly, constructive criticism is a big part of my teaching and I am someone who won’t sugarcoat your errors or mistakes especially if major. instead I will give to you straight if I see major flaws that could cost you big marks and this way we can make sure to fixate on these mistakes and eliminated them in the future to maximise your marks that are available but more importantly the time you have with me so we can focus on squeezing all the marks we can once we eliminate major mistakes!

For the UCAT exam, this is my approach:

– Initial Assessment: I start with a comprehensive diagnostic test to gauge the student’s current level, pinpoint strengths, and identify areas for improvement. This assessment is crucial for customizing the preparation plan to their unique needs.

– Personalised Study Plan: Drawing from the diagnostic results, I develop an individualized study schedule that focuses on addressing weaker areas while bolstering strengths. This plan incorporates a mix of theoretical learning, practical exercises, and periodic reviews to ensure a well-rounded approach.

– Interactive Learning: The lessons are crafted to be highly interactive, utilizing various multimedia tools, practice questions, and engaging discussions. This approach keeps students actively involved and aids in the reinforcement of key concepts.

– Timed Practice Exams: Regularly scheduled timed practice tests replicate actual test conditions, which helps students enhance their time management skills and alleviate test anxiety.

– Comprehensive Feedback: After each practice exam, I provide thorough feedback and go over the answers in detail to explain mistakes and reinforce learning points.

– Skill Enhancement: The curriculum emphasises the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for the UCAT through puzzles, games, and real-world applications.

– Improving Speed and Accuracy: I teach techniques to boost speed and accuracy, such as skimming strategies for verbal reasoning and pattern recognition methods for abstract reasoning, to ensure students perform their best on test day.

– Practice practice practice…. Practicing questions has been proven to be the most effective way of acing all types of exams so this will be one thing that I will do alongside you guys to not only allow you to practice, but also for me to be able to be bt your side to direct you actively to use the best approaches and techniques to answer every type of question to the best of your abilities when actually practicing!

– Adaptability: I firmly believe that each student possesses a unique set of characteristics and learning preferences. To accommodate these differences, I customise my teaching methods to align with the individual learning styles and needs of every student. By employing a diverse array of instructional tools and techniques, I strive to create lessons that are not only engaging but also highly effective, ensuring that each student can thrive and achieve their full potential and get the most out of their time with me!
