My teaching style

I like to set a baseline knowledge before starting to I can see where each individual is at and how slow/ fast paced we have to go. Then I like to talk through strategy (i.e. so we want to talk through questions, do timed practice or go through a topic that is not quite understood). One thing I emphasise is going through the ACER papers, either bit by bit or timed, and then we can go through it together, as these papers are the best reflection of the actual exam. I also like to make a timetable for the sake of efficiency, as both the student and I know what to expect in the next session and we can both come prepared for it.
In terms of getting things wrong in the sessions, I always say this is a good thing because you would rather make the mistakes now and pick up on them, than make mistakes when it matters, so don’t worry about being wrong!
