Joseph

I am a qualified, competent, passionate and dedicated Lecturer of Computing, Maths, Quantitative Methods, Statistics and Data Science, with eight years of teaching experience. I love to motivate, inspire, and make positive difference in the lives of learners with established computing skills, diversified pedagogy underpinned by research informed teaching theories, and I enjoy creating solutions that eliminate barriers to learning. I strongly value respect, hard work, creativity, problem-solving, and inclusion. In my leisure time, I enjoy volunteering, researching pedagogies, gaining new computing skills, and listening to TED Talks.

Tutoring Experience

I have over 8 years of teaching experience across schools, colleges and universities, and I have successfully taught students sitting for various subjects including Statistics, GCSE Maths, A Level Maths including Core Pure 1, Core Pure 2, Further Statistics 1, Further Statistics 2, Decision 1 and Decision 2 and I am conversant with the AQA and Edexcel curriculums. I also teach casual and adult learners.

Tutoring Approach

I establish rapport with my students to give them a sense of belonging and value which positively impacts on their motivation to learn.

I implement student-centred teaching approach which allows me to engage and challenge my students with authentic tasks for better learning experience. I use various inclusive curriculum designs and frameworks and lesson plans that enable me to meet the needs of diverse learners. Some of them include the Constructive Alignment curriculum design, Universal Design for Learning and Mayer's Theory of Multimedia Learning which heavily relies on the Cognitive Load Theory.

I differentiate my lessons to engage and satisfy the learning needs of students in the various levels of the Bloom's Toxonomy of educational objectives to keep them all engaged and to maximise their learning potentials.

I like to use past exam question papers to challenge students' curiosity which develop their problems-solving skills, and these increases their confidence in sitting their exams.
