A*/8 GCSE history student. I am cheerful, eager to expand my knowledge and open to criticism too. Aimed at GCSE students

I enjoy teaching and I have worked as a teaching assistant for small classroom sizes which would be great for tutoring students. Being a student in the past, I know how worrisome it is to know that exams can contain anything, despite it being very difficult to learn remember the entire specification. From this, I will take a realistic approach to learning by helping students to understand the content, but focusing more on their application skills. This can be done by having interactive questions at the beginning of the starter excessive that prompt the student to remember the contents from the previous lessons; and end of lesson questions from the current lesson that aim to assess their level of engagement. For a content rich and essay based subject such as history, I will help them condense the information into smaller chunks of information rather than huge paragraphs to allow interaction and for them to not be overwhelmed. Lastly, I will allow the content to be tailored in a way that shows similarities in their current lives, along with promoting relevant discussions to promote critical thinking and evaluation. This is a learning objective that students struggle with, as well as the differentiation between those who perform averagely or highly in their essays/exams.
