All Students Can Learn And Succeed But Not In The SAME WAY And Not in The SAME DAY - William G Spady
About Archana
Greetings of the Day! I am Mrs. Redy from Dallas, Texas. I have been teaching my favorite subject, Biology, for seven years. I have a B.Ed in Biological Science and completed the Pre-Ph.D Course Program in Plant Molecular Biology from Auburn University, AL-USA. I have a master's in Research in Plant Biotechnology and Tissue Culture. I have been teaching IB DP Biology& ESS[Hl/SL] at an International School for five years. As part of the IBDP curriculum, I mentored and supervised IA and EE research projects in Biology & ESS that scored good A and B grades. I taught the IGCSE Biology course for two years. I believe that every student has the potential to excel if they practice and train themselves in a routine discipline to achieve their goals and objectives. And my role as a tutor will be to help the student set the training and practice that will enable them to keep up with their Academic aims and objectives. Through persistent reviews of concepts, a student-centric approach to teaching, and rigorous assessment practice, I will help the student achieve their benchmark standards. So if you are ready to take that leap to ace your course " Book a Lesson with Mrs. Redy," ** Since I am a Biology teacher, I like to read Science fiction, watch Sci-fi movies, and any Medicine related series - a few of my favorite is " Good Doctor," Dr. House all time fav. I like listening to good music, relieving stress by cooking food, and swimming when free. I do a bit of gardening and plan on retiring to a farm someday where I can spend growing my food.

Teaching Style
My methodology and approach to tutoring
What is your teaching philosophy?
Teaching is the most challenging and rewarding carrier of all. To be outstanding in this profession a teacher should & must have patience, passion, and perseverance. I believe these are the requisites to cater to the needs of the 21 st generation students. Their content and knowledge are accessible to students however, it's the facilitators' and mentors' duty to point them in the right direction and bridge the knowledge gaps that require patience and perseverance. My overall teaching experience has led me to believe that what makes this profession so challenging is the diverse set of students. Students come in all forms of diversity in the nature of their culture, background, learning style and abilities. It is for the educator to create a responsive, interactive and meaningful learning environment that has the potential to cater to the varied needs of students in all its forms and in all fairness. In this aspect, I prepared and presented the lecture material as simple yet effective that would appeal to different learning styles. However, there is no single approach in this processes, I have taken the evaluations from my students on what they need and tried my best to sync to the curriculum and student requirements. I’d like to bring collaborative and cooperative learning instruction that allows equal attention to students of all levels. My approach was to first know their specific interests and determine what will work best for each individual student so that are engaged in learning and be productive not only in academics but for future goals.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Build a safe student-teacher relationship - get to know the student's aptitude, fears, and likes of the subject through fun and engaging activities. Share academic goals. Try to learn their learning difficulties, their learning schedule, what kind of assignments they get and like to have, and set expectations on the assignments and tasks allocated.
