I believe that a teacher's job is to provide a warm, safe, and welcoming environment that promotes a love of learning and the development of skills, knowledge, and creativity.

In a typical first session with a student, I will make time to learn more about him or her, create a quick pre-test to determine your student's strengths and shortcomings, and break down your lesson plan into smaller, easier-to-understand chunks.

I can help students become independent by assisting them in defining goals for themselves clearly. My students must know their destination before they can find their path. A study skill that independent learners master is identifying objectives. Before starting any class or activity, I will ensure my students understand what they are meant to receive. Students can evaluate what material they need to acquire and how it will aid them in their studies if the objectives are as clear as feasible. I will ensure my students take note. Independent students are excellent listeners. And taking notes is one of the best ways to reveal their listening skills. Students must learn to take notes, which is an important study tool. Students who take notes remember more knowledge, according to research. However, just because my students take notes during an online class doesn't guarantee they're doing it well. I will help them become independent learners by focusing on note-taking skills if I find them struggling to understand or retain the essential information in the session. What I can do also is to keep an eye on the student's progress. I can keep track of my students' progress and examine their grades at any time with online schools. I can identify the cause and make efforts to get back on track as soon as I observe a drop in their performance. I will encourage my students to think about how they learn best and reflect on their progress. Which study skills came in handy the most? What are the areas where they still need to improve? Then we may all work together to develop solutions that will help them study more effectively and comprehend better.

When praise is due, give it. Encouragement may be the only form of motivation that works as effectively. I can provide a wealth of encouragement to a student by publicly praising success, expressing praise for a job well done, and sharing excellent work. Provide incentives. Everyone enjoys receiving awards, and allowing students to earn them is a great way to keep them motivated. Chocolate, grilled chicken, coke, etc., can motivate children to work harder and achieve their goals. I consider my students' personalities and requirements while deciding on acceptable rewards for your lesson. Provide feedback on your learning and opportunities to grow. Students having difficulty with their classes may become irritated and depressed, which can sap motivation. I will provide appropriate learning feedback to pupils in these instances to understand where they went wrong and how to improve next time. Developing a strategy for getting students where they want to go might also help them stay motivated to work hard. Make things enjoyable. Students who see lessons as a place where they may have fun will be more motivated to pay attention and accomplish the work asked of them than those who see it as a chore. Including exciting activities in the class can help children who struggle to stay involved and make the classroom a more welcoming environment for all students.

Students will require numerous opportunities to practice their newly acquired skills or notion. Teaching a new subject to someone else is an excellent approach for students to review it. Preparing a concept enhances learning, resulting in more differentiated and in-depth understanding. As the learner must be able to explain using practical application, the process of articulating the new ability or notion also develops learning. The opportunity to respond to questions can improve a thorough grasp of the new topic or skill and communication and flexible thinking skills. I will give students more time and opportunities to practice. I will teach a concept in little bits until students have mastered it via task analysis. Before I teach my students the exceptions to a new rule, I ensure they understand it entirely. Attempt to introduce the concept separately before reintroducing it in context. I would whenever possible, incorporate visuals. Visuals can aid in the transformation of abstract thought into a tangible one. Model ideas such as the nitrogen cycle to help students visualize them.

In the learning process, I'll introduce vocabulary writing. Before we begin reading comprehension, we will write down all of the "difficult" vocabularies, demonstrate how to pronounce them, and have the students rehearse the words. I will allow students to enjoy reading by providing them with the opportunity to do so. Reading is a skill that improves with practice, just like anything else. It will be easier for students to practice reading comprehension skills if they read something they enjoy. I will allow students to read various texts to determine which genres they appreciate. I will use a ruler or a finger to help students keep track of where they are in the book. Students with dyslexia who have trouble differentiating lines of text and sentences when reading can benefit from this technique.

When I start to work with a student, what I have found most successful is to find out what excites and motivates the student and do my best to carve my lessons via that medium. With that, there is always exciting, and the student always partakes because there is always something to discuss.

I will begin each class with an interesting fact and one or two questions linked to the essential parts of the lesson, which the student will answer, implicitly summarizing what they have learned. This will elicit a lot of enthusiasm from the student. I will demonstrate zeal and commitment. Enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm, and enthusiasm generates enthusiasm. Enthusiasm spreads like a virus. Enthusiasm for the lesson is one method to get students interested and engaged. I will encourage meaningful and pertinent connections, allowing students to connect with what they've learned, making it relevant to real-life situations. Additionally, various media of instruction, whether oral, visual, or combined, excites and engages the student.

Jotters Allowing students time to write out how they comprehended the lesson would encourage them to be reflective thinkers, and then I will go through and check for comprehension. Games, For example, Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform that children adore. It's a part game show, part video game, promoting a friendly, competitive atmosphere. I set up a 15-question match to check for comprehension and collect data on what's working from my lesson. Pair up and have a discussion. I will find a companion with whom students can debate the lesson and take turns being the "teacher." While they're talking, I will pay close attention and listen in to check if they've grasped the key themes of the day's lesson. Quiz with a single question. One or two questions, at most, relevant to the essential parts of the course, to which the student will respond, essentially summarizing what they have learned. Instead of looking for it right away in class, I will offer students time to reflect on what they've learned and assign homework that checks for understanding later that day.

I boost students' confidence by allowing them to express themselves without being judged. As well as allowing them to critique the work and responses of other pupils. By doing so, I instill trust in them and the quality of the work they produce. I also allow them actually to teach a topic. They begin to gain confidence as a result of this. Setting up a reward system is one of the most effective ways to boost a student's self-esteem. I congratulate them on their achievements and assist them in setting realistic goals. I'll explain to them that it's a learning process, and they must adopt that mindset. By requiring students to prepare their notes in a language they understand and can relate to, I will strengthen their sense of ownership and give them mastery over the course. I will never make a comparison between one pupil and another. This suffocates innovation and uniqueness.

I evaluate a student's needs through formative and summative assessments, the difficulty level, and their lateral response to assignments. I also do that by conducting surveys and interviews to help students voice out their needs through criterion-based assessment. With this, I get to know which topic or aspects of the lesson they find difficulties in and what specific attention and help they need.

The way I adapt to students' needs is circumstantial. It depends on the type of student I meet. One significant way I do this is to differentiate instructions. This is where I customize and individualize class activities to suit the student's needs. Some students understand better when the lesson is more visual, so I employ a more graphical and diagrammatic approach. Some students understand more when they participate actively in the class; we will do more hands-on practical sessions to aid them. The adaptation will depend on the kind of students I meet and their level of absorption and concentration.

During tutoring sessions, I use a wide range of materials. As a Seasoned Biology, my tutoring session is not short of Quizlet, Bioninja, Kognity, Quizzes, and a Question bank. As an ardent believer in Gamification and Game-based learning, I incorporate these tools to enhance teaching and learning.
