Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve tweaked and refined my regular teaching to work equally well online.
Students who have been learning online with me have enjoyed the lessons, and I’ve been really pleased to discover the benefits that online teaching offers. Screen sharing, for example, enables me to demonstrate good practice to students, while online whiteboards are a great tool for teaching pupils how to annotate texts properly.
As a passionate practitioner who takes pride in presenting high quality learning materials, I am dedicated to finding new, better ways of online teaching every day.
