Teaching Approach and Knowledge Sharing
I use a student-centered and interactive teaching method that balances theory, analysis, and practical application. My lessons combine close reading, discussion, and creative exercises to ensure students not only understand texts but also develop critical thinking, analytical writing, and interpretative skills. I emphasize active participation, personalized feedback, and goal-oriented learning to make literature both accessible and enjoyable.
Typical Lesson Plan:
Warm-up/Introduction (5–10 min): Brief discussion of the previous lesson, setting objectives for the day.
Text Exploration (15–20 min): Reading and analysis of assigned texts, identifying key themes, motifs, and literary techniques.
Discussion & Application (15–20 min): Open dialogue on interpretations, comparing perspectives, and linking concepts to broader contexts.
Skill Practice (10–15 min): Writing exercises, critical essays, or creative responses to strengthen analytical and expressive abilities.
Recap & Homework (5–10 min): Summarize key takeaways and assign targeted exercises for reinforcement.
What Sets Me Apart:
Cambridge-educated expertise with a strong academic foundation in English Literature.
Personalized lessons tailored to each student’s goals, strengths, and learning style.
Practical and engaging techniques that make challenging concepts easier to grasp.
Focus on long-term skill development, not just exam performance.
Who My Lessons Are For:
