Methodology

During my time as a language tutor I used a wide variety of teaching styles depending on what I was trying to achieve during that particular lesson. I have a very hands-on style and always strive to make use of innovative techniques.

However, my main approach is very student centred and I enjoy utilising a exploratory style which involves promoting learning through interaction, asking lots of stimulating questions to make sure the student has understood the topic and asking them to create their own questions of what they would like to further investigate about the topic. I would also encourage the students to explore under researched areas or unanswered questions about a topic, so that they can deepen their understanding, expand their overall knowledge of the subject and create new ideas and perspectives about various aspects of psychology. I feel that this approach encourages self discovery, promotes problem solving skills, critical thinking and cultivates curiosity.

I also engage in task based teaching which allows me to be creative in assigning relevant tasks that would assist in consolidating the student's knowledge of the subject, as well as trying to get them to visualise how whatever they are learning could be applied in a real life setting.

Overall, I am very flexible, informal and patient in my teaching approach and am very able and willing to tailor a lesson to the individual needs of the student.
