Tutor Teaching Style
My primary role as a teacher is as a facilitator, a coach, and a mentor. Students must be encouraged to reflect on mistakes rather than fear them and improve learning skills that help with self-regulation and planning.
Assess a student’s strengths/areas of improvement by using an assessment activity followed by an activity that students with a teacher/peer, followed by a closing activity that focuses on problem-solving. Lastly, students self-reflect on what they are confident in and what they need to improve on.
Encourage SMART steps, encourage planning and scheduling, scaffold their learning.
Praise, encourage, provide activities that gamify their learning (e.g., Quizizz).
Modeling a solution clearly, and encourage practice.
Break the question up into smaller parts. Make a plan to answer by using a spider diagram/flow chart.’
Using analogies, encourage drawings, structured organizers.
Embed lessons to real-world applications, global context, and international-mindedness.
Use formative assessments
Encourage, challenge, and praise.
Through observation, through questioning, through google reflection forms, through exit tickets
By assessing regularly and modifying timelines.
Phet simulation, quiz, document camera/tablet
