You love being challenge and competing with your peers.
A race against the clock is something you'll never turn down!
Linking topics together can really help you see the bigger picture.
Remind the student to read questions slowly to avoid silly mistakes and rushing into the question. Try reading the question twice and underlining key words to further help them understand what the question is asking for.
Relate what you’re teaching to other subjects the student might be familiar with through analogies. This helps them remember the concept more easily. Asking them to draw a mind map while you’re teaching can also help them visualise how different topics link together and see the bigger picture.
Go through past papers with these students to help them familiarise themselves with more challenging questions. Looking at questions from different angles can help the student familiarise themselves with more creative problem solving skills.
These students love competing with their peers. In a group class, try occasionally setting up mini competitions for students to keep engaged and fired up in their sessions. If you’re in a 1-1, try a timed activity, instead!
