About Johann

I am a positive person who has an enthusiastic outlook on life. I love working with students and this became a great passion of mine.I get a great sense of achievement from seeing my students develop and grow as individuals.

If I can have a positive impact on their future, I feel I am doing my job well. I am an effective communicator, both in writing and verbally and I have a strong ability to plan and organise effectively; something which is crucial to the role of a competent tutor/teacher.

I cope very well with pressure and can adapt my style or teaching methods, when needed, to deliver consistent results. I have an understanding of the bigger picture and the pressures that are placed on the school.

I am someone who always implements effective behaviour management processes in the classroom and strive myself on an ability to continually develop both personally and professionally.

Top 5 Teacher Interview Questions and Answers
Question 2: Describe Your Teaching Style. – 5 Teacher Interview Questions and Answers
Describe your teaching style as something worth investing in. The interviewers aren’t expecting to hear a revolutionary response here, or for you to give them something a style they’ve never heard of before.


My teaching style is primarily centred on class engagement. I adapt my teaching style in order to cater for everyone and make the material as interesting as possible.

I like to use group exercises, colorful PowerPoint slides and even videos where possible to demonstrate my learning points. I believe this is something which increases student interest significantly, and from my experience, leads to a better learning experience overall.

I am highly effective at behavioural management, and focus on the three R’s of RESPECT, RESPONSE and the RIGHT way to learn. These have served me well over time.

Finally, I have an approachable, inclusive style of teaching that is sufficiently flexible enough to cater for a diverse range of learning styles, needs and requirements.

I set boundaries from the get-go. These would involve three things: RESPECT, RESPONSE and the RIGHT approach to learning. RESPECT is the respect of each other and me, the tutor/ teacher.

RESPONSE is the process in which we all abide by in the classroom when either asking questions or answering questions. The RIGHT approach to learning is getting the students to understand the benefits of learning and how this impacts on their future.

Of course, there are other facets to managing behaviour in the classroom, including having a teaching style that is appropriate to the student’s needs, but I feel strongly that it’s important to set firm boundaries from the outset that we all abide by.

These boundaries I implement within my lessons have stood me in good stead and I rarely have behavioural issues with my students.

I also believe it's important for me to always fully understand the pressures that are placed on teachers. And I also understand the pressures placed on you, the school. These pressures need to be managed effectively so that we all work together to achieve the aims of the school and meet the needs of the students we are teaching.

To begin with, I believe in proper, effective planning of both time and lessons. Planning helps significantly reduce stress as a teacher. Secondly, I believe in maintaining a positive and happy mindset. If you are happy and positive, this rubs off on your work colleagues and also the students you are teaching.

Finally, I look after myself outside of work. I eat well, and whilst I am not a massive fitness fantastic, I often go walking and carry out physical exercise to clear my head and this also helps to reduce stress, too.
