Information About Aaminah:
Personal Description:
I graduated in 2017 with a First-Class Honours degree, BSc. (Hons), in Chemistry. At university, I was awarded a prize for best BSc Chemist in my cohort. I then went on to complete a PGCE with one of the UK's leading teaching institutions, Star Academies, and QTS granted by University of Cumbria.
At present, I am teaching KS3 and KS4 Science at a secondary school. My students enjoy the challenging activities which I set them to stimulate their intellect and improve their understanding of the subject. I like to deliver interactive lessons in which they are working together or figuring things out themselves. I work hard to build a positive relationship with each pupil and I take pleasure in sharing scientific knowledge and experience with my students. I strive to make each learner confident in the subject and am keen to see them reach their full potential.
Teaching Experience:
Whilst teaching Science at a secondary school for six years, I have successfully tutored students of lower ability and brought them up to achieving higher than expected results, while building their confidence in the areas in which they were struggling. Whilst teaching mid / higher ability students, I have ensured they achieve the highest grades.
Tutoring Approach:
Looking at feedback from my mentors and students, I am very good at teaching new concepts. I believe I have excellent communication skills and am most approachable and accessible. Having a thorough understanding of my subject, I believe I will be able to pass on this knowledge to my students. By studying the sciences at 'A Level', followed by specialising in Chemistry at university, I believe I have the skill-set to combine my in-depth knowledge and understanding to help students excel.
I use a range of tasks, engaging activities and visuals to aid understanding of complex topic areas. I begin lessons with a recap of the previous session to ascertain knowledge base and understanding. Thereafter, the teaching of new concepts and finishing off with homework, including exam-style questions to consolidate learning. Review of previous work is one of my main methods of making sure the work has been grasped; whilst it enables me to see whether the content has been understood or there is a need for further assistance.
I would discuss the subject areas which the student would want to cover and work hard to ensure that they gain a firm understanding of the given topic.
My goal is to help the student progress by building their confidence and to learn from their mistakes.
My role is to assist students and provide support to their learning, engage them and stimulate their minds in the world of science. I hope to help them by setting realistic targets and achievable tasks whilst giving them constructive feedback and supporting them when needed.
I aim to make them feel comfortable (through encouragement and praise) in asking questions, clarifying problems and obtaining the knowledge needed to pass their exams with flying colours.
I believe patience is important so, even though students may take time grasping the work, I will repeat and go over things thoroughly. My students know I am friendly and approachable, and I teach in a way that creates a supportive and enjoyable learning environment.
I am confident that I can support my learners to enjoy, achieve and excel in Science.
