My approach
☻
Relational
Learning is an instinct; therefore, each person learns, always. While the student works with me, they can do that at their own pace, building a relationship in a group or one-to-one. Teaching and learning differ in that the first is about instructions, and the second is about what drives one’s curiosity and motivation and what impedes learning. As a mentor, I focus mainly on the relationship, how the student learns, and what that means for the student.
❋
Adaptive
Sessions develop and change as the skills acquired by the student are stronger. They are structure-oriented while considering learning needs; all abilities are included. As creativity sparks and progress takes place, a sense of autonomy develops, and new interests emerge, while the student starts to feel competent and assertive. They might experience a feeling that everything is starting to fall into place (suddenly they can read, they can write, and they can express themselves).
✦
Comprehensive
I take into account the academic targets, which are informed by the British Curriculum. My focus is on facilitating concentration, argumentation, and analytical skills. I set the pace according to the student’s abilities and interests, both in terms of cognitive and emotional development, because sometimes, the interest is high-level (addressing complex themes), but the text needs to be low-level (less complex language structures).
✿
Personalised
The goals match the student’s specific needs, their chosen objectives, whether it is phonics and decoding because they are new to English, conversation practice and cultural awareness, diving into literature, grammar, or creative writing. Before they start the sessions with me, we need to have a chat in order to understand how to help them best. We check in each term (UK school timetable) to note progress, and I write a report after each module.
