Tutor Teaching Style
I believe in self-empowerment; providing the tools and confidence for a student to succeed whilst preparing them for higher education studying.
Asking the student what they are struggling with the most and why is the most obvious first step. Helping students understand where the root of these issues lies is another part of this important session. From the conclusions drawn from this discussion, a study plan can be mapped out to best suit the needs of the students.
Giving students the tools they require to break down the course material and learn it through understanding rather than memorization is often the best way to help students get a grasp on the information without forcing them to learn it all by heart. Although some students achieve amazing results by remembering their lessons, providing them with the methods and ways to retain this knowledge through practice is all the more beneficial, both in IB and in higher education.
