Tutor Teaching Style
My teaching philosophy deals with a holistic approach to the delivery of the subject. We, through our sessions, build a link between the natural world and the theories stated through practicals and discussions. Further, we believe in the application of knowledge to serve the society at large, hence indulging in various actions and services to the society related to the topic dealt with during the teaching hours, which includes fundraising for donations, creating physiology models, and donating them to underprivileged schools or generating awareness about specific diseases and precautions, to mention a few.
A typical first session would have a brief initial introduction from both ends, then a detailed discussion about the student's challenges and requirements. Following this would be understanding the sessions' significance and purpose and briefing the student about what the future sessions will look like. Recommendations and expectations from the student will also be detailed. The session would ideally end with a brief learning section starting with one of the immediate requirements and a set of homework to be completed and prepared for the following session.
