About Profile
About Yahya
Yahya is a Geography graduate with a First-Class degree in Human Geography and experience mentoring university students, leading study sessions and supporting academic development. His professional research experience has also required him to analyse information and communicate complex findings clearly to different audiences.
During assessment, Yahya planned a Year 8 Geography lesson on coastal management with clear learning objectives, a starter, teacher explanation, pupil activity and assessment. He demonstrated secure subject knowledge and considered how the learning would progress into a subsequent lesson.
Yahya’s strengths are communication, explaining complex ideas and adapting to his audience. His main development area is behaviour management, as his teaching experience to date has primarily involved tutoring more mature students. He understands the importance of consistency, clear expectations and following a school’s behaviour policy. With classroom experience and mentoring, he has the potential to transfer his communication and subject knowledge into secondary Geography teaching.
