About me?



I am Mr. / Girgis.



Corporate Trainers in Education ...




I am a superintendent teacher of English, lecturer, trainer,

education researcher and reviewer.  I am an English, 

Arabic and French curriculum designer, writer, analyst,

courses of the English departments of the University 

anywhere.




I use critical thinking skills in teaching and lecturing

English as a foreign language.  In my lecture, I follow 

the objectives, introduction, structure, conclusion and the 

learning outcomes of a lecture. 

 

I lecture seminars and tuitions for the 

following fields:

innovation in learning and researching. I believe in active 

learning which is a learner-centered learning method 

where the learner becomes engaged. 



Learners must be real participants. They ask, answer, act 

the scene, give their opinions, agree, disagree, dialogue 

with others and with themselves to explore and create.

The teacher is a monitor, guide, observer and supporter.


 



Employment at a university

  • Participating in committee, departmental, and faculty meetings.



  • Providing training and mentoring to teaching assistants and junior lecturers.



  • Reviewing methods and teaching materials and making recommendations for improvement.



  • Assisting with student recruitment, interviews, and academic counseling sessions.



  • Contributing to the creation of an environment that promotes growth, equality, and freedom of speech.

 



Types of Professors


Professors can specialize in various fields of study and take 

on different roles within academia. Here are some types of 

professors based on their specialization and areas of 

expertise:




Research Professors:


These professors primarily focus on conducting original

research within their field. They often work at research 

universities and contribute to advancements in knowledge 

through their publications, studies, and collaborations.




Teaching Professors: 


Teaching professors excel in delivering engaging and 

effective lectures, designing curriculum, and mentoring 

students. They prioritize teaching excellence and student 

engagement while contributing to their institution's 

educational mission.




Clinical Professors: 


Commonly found in fields like medicine, law, and healthcare,

 clinical professors have extensive practical experience in 

addition to their academic qualifications. They often provide 

hands-on training to students and may supervise clinical 

placements.




Adjunct Professors: 


Adjunct professors are typically part-time faculty members 

who bring industry expertise into the classroom. They often 

have other professional commitments alongside their 

teaching responsibilities.




Tenured Professors: 


After meeting specific criteria, professors may be awarded 

tenure, which provides them with job security and academic 

freedom. They continue their research, teaching, and

 service to the institution.




Endowed Professors: 


These professors hold positions that are financially

positions often recognize exceptional contributions to

 a field and support ongoing research or teaching initiatives.




Emeritus Professors:


 Upon retirement, professors may receive the honorary

 title of "emeritus" or "emerita." This status acknowledges

 their past contributions and allows them to continue their 

involvement with the institution in a reduced capacity.




Lecturers: 


Lecturers are often non-tenure-track faculty members 

who focus primarily on teaching. They may teach specific 

courses or areas of expertise within a department.




Distinguished Professors:


 Distinguished professors are recognized for their 

exceptional contributions to their field. They often 

hold senior academic positions and play a prominent 

role in advancing knowledge and mentoring others.

 



Pros and cons


 of 


pursuing a career as a professor:





Pros:



Intellectual Fulfillment: 


Professors engage in rigorous academic pursuits, conduct 

research, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in 

their field. The opportunity to explore new ideas, question 

assumptions, and make original contributions can be 

intellectually satisfying.





Teaching Impact:


 Professors have the privilege of shaping the next generation

of thinkers and leaders. They can inspire students, foster

critical thinking, and contribute to the personal and professional

 growth of their students.





Flexibility: 


Academia often offers a level of flexibility in terms of work 

hours and research pursuits. Professors can manage their 

schedules to accommodate research, teaching, and personal 

commitments.

 Professors typically have autonomy in their research direction,

 teaching methods, and academic pursuits. They can delve

 into topics of personal interest and contribute to areas they

 are passionate about.





Lifelong Learning: 


Academia encourages ongoing learning and personal growth. 

Professors stay updated with the latest advancements in their 

field, attend conferences, and engage in scholarly discussions.




Research Opportunities:


 For those who enjoy research, academia provides an 

environment conducive to pursuing groundbreaking studies, 

collaborating with peers, and contributing to scientific or 

scholarly advancements.

 



Cons:



Time-Intensive:


 The demands of research, teaching, and administrative 

responsibilities can make academia time-intensive. 

Balancing these commitments, along with personal life, 

can be challenging.





Workload Pressure: 


The pressure to publish research, secure grants, and 

maintain teaching excellence can be intense.

 This pressure may lead to burnout and stress.




Job Insecurity: 


Tenure-track positions, which offer job security and 

academic freedom, can be highly competitive to attain. 

Many early-career academics face uncertain employment 

prospects.




Limited Income Potential: 


While tenured professors can earn a comfortable income, 

entry-level positions and adjunct roles may offer lower 

salaries compared to other professions with similar levels 

of education.




Administrative Demands:


 Professors often participate in departmental committees, 

administrative tasks, and program development. 

These responsibilities can be time-consuming and take 

away from research and teaching.




Publishing Pressure: 


Continuous research output is crucial for academic 

progression. The pressure to publish can sometimes 

prioritize quantity over the quality of research.




Work-Life Balance: 


Achieving a healthy work-life balance can be challenging 

due to the demands of research, teaching, and 

administrative tasks. Long hours and periods of intense 

workload are common.


 


What is it like to be a university lecturer? | Guardian Jobs
 




2-A lecturer


 



What is a lecturer?




A lecturer is a professional who teaches a subject at a 

college or university. Lecturers typically have full-time jobs

 or previous experience in their field, which they use as a 

basis for their lesson plans.Many lecturers are experts in 

subjects unrelated to education, so they can often find 

lecturing work without having a degree in education or 

previous teaching experience. Some lecturers might work 

full time, but many take these teaching roles on a part-time

 basis while maintaining their primary careers.

 



Job duties of a lecturer :


  • Applying knowledge from their field to classroom lessons and activities.



  • Preparing course content, including presentations and assignments.



  • Conducting lectures on specific topics.



  • Teaching one particular subject or class multiple times per year.



  • Maintaining responsibilities at an additional job.



  • Hosting special non-classroom lectures for students to attend through university programs, such as at the library or a museum.

3-A lecture



 



Meaning of a Lecture:


A lecture is a formal educational discourse delivered by an 

expert or educator to an audience, typically within a university 

or academic setting. The primary aim of a lecture is to convey 

knowledge, stimulate discussion, and inspire critical thinking. 

It serves as a key method for presenting information, theories, 

and practical applications in various fields of study.




Steps of Making a lecture:



1-Captivate students from the beginning


In secondary teacher training, one of the first things that 

teachers are taught is the concept of the ‘plenary’, otherwise 

know as the ‘starter’.



2-Organisaton is everything!


Preparing a lecture in advance also allows you time to 

research valuable resources, such as educational videos, 

YouTube clips, academic articles etc…




3-Be animated


Try to vary the intonation (pitch and tone) of your voice, it 

doesn’t matter how interesting the contents, a monotone

 voice is guaranteed to send a lecture room full of students

 to sleep. Be conversational in tone. Use humor, since 

students are more motivated when they're having fun.



4-Adopt student centered learning 


strategies


Student-centered learning is all about placing the student at 

the centre of the teaching process.  It is making students an 

active and a responsible contributor in their own learning.  

Teaching has moved away from the ‘one size fits all’ 

pedagogy and instead now embraces the fact that students 

learn in different ways.




5-Question time



One of the most effective tools a lecturer has at their disposal 

and which ensures interaction, is to ask and encourage 

questions. Questions can be used as a plenary, can stimulate

 interaction throughout the lecture and can be used to re-visit

 content at the end.

 



6-Change can be good


I personally think that it is good to try new strategies


and new ways of doing things.  Not only for the


student’s interest, but also for our own It might be


 that the original way of doing something was


the best way.




7-Make the lecture interactive


An interactive lecture is one that includes and encourages 

student participation.


Using techniques that encourage all students to contribute,

 helps to promote student retention and learning of the 

content presented during lecture.




8-Technology


My three favorite technological resources are: 


Power-Point which is great for summarizing key points 

and presenting visual stimulus.


Educational videos are both engaging and informative.


 Finally, Virtual Learning Environments such as Moodle, 

which are great for ensuring that the students continue to 

be engaged with the content after the lectures, have ended.




9-Student Feedback


Sometimes just saying to the students “what did you think 

about the video I showed today?’ Or “was that a useful 

resource?”


Provides valuable feedback that you can use to inform 

future planning.




10-Closing Time:


The end of the lecture is also a good time to collect any 

impromptu feedback. By ending your lectures well you have 

given students the chance to 'come full circle' by providing a: 

positive start, purposeful middle and reflective end, all of which

 are key ingredients when creating a dynamic lecture.   
 
 




An Effective Lecture



Preparation:


The lecturer must be well-prepared and knowledgeable about 

the subject matter.


Effective organizers of information, including outlines and 

supplementary materials, contribute to clarity.




Audience Engagement:


Understanding the audience's background and interests helps

tailor the delivery style.


Encouraging questions and interactions fosters a dynamic 

environment.




Environment:


A conducive learning environment is critical, including 

appropriate seating arrangements, lighting, and technology. 

Minimized distractions enhance focus and learning.





Time Management:


Clear pacing and timing prevent information overload and

allow for breaks or discussions.


Allocating time effectively for different sections of the lecture

is essential.




Use of Technology:


Integrating multimedia, slideshows, and online resources can

enrich the content delivered.



Ensuring technical equipment is functional before the lecture 

takes place.

 




Structure of a Lecture




Introduction:


Outline the main objectives and the relevance of the topic.

Hook the audience with a compelling statistic, question, or 

anecdote.





Body:


Divide the content into sections, covering key points 

systematically:



Theoretical Framework: 

Introduce important theories or concepts.



Case Studies/Examples: 

Provide real-world applications to illustrate points.



Discussion Prompts: 

Raise questions to stimulate critical thinking.





Conclusion:


Summarize key takeaways from the lecture.

Indicate potential future directions for research or application.





Q&A Session:


Allocate time for questions and answers to clarify doubts and 

encourage discussion.This segment reinforces learning by 

addressing specific concerns.


 




Effects of a Lecture




Knowledge Acquisition:



Lectures serve to disseminate a large amount of information 

efficiently to students. They can build foundational 

knowledge and critical thinking skills.






Motivation and Inspiration:



Lecturers can inspire students to pursue further inquiry or 

engage deeply with a subject.  Engaging narratives or 

examples can reignite passion for learning.





Social Interaction:


Lectures create a social learning environment, fostering 

interaction among peers. Collaboration and idea exchange

 can occur through discussions.




Assessment of Understanding:


The Q&A session and subsequent assignments can help

evaluate students' grasp of the material.  Feedback 

mechanisms (e.g., surveys) can help improve future

lectures.





Conclusion



In conclusion, lectures are a fundamental component of 

academic instruction, offering a structured approach to 

knowledge delivery. Understanding their meaning, 

conditions for effectiveness, structural components,

 and potential impacts enhances both teaching and

 learning experiences.



By continually adapting and refining lecture techniques, 

educators can better meet the needs of their students and 

foster a productive academic environment.  A successful 

lecture not only imparts knowledge but also engages, 

inspires, and motivates learners.

effective and memorable lecture experience for students.


 


 





4-A tutor


 



A tutor


A tutor, formally also called an academic tutor, is a person 

who provides assistance or tutelage to one or more people 

on certain subject areas or skills. The tutor spends a few 

hours on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis to transfer their 

expertise on the topic or skill to the student (also called a 

tutee). Tutoring can take place in different settings.

 



What Does A Tutor Do?



A tutor provides tuition to students and supports them with 

studying various subjects at different levels. They use

 varying methods, approaches and skills to enhance an 

individual’s learning and development. They also help 

students prepare for qualifications, exams, entry 

requirements and tests.



Tutors can work at students’ homes or directly from their 

own homes. They may also travel to provide their services 

in other settings, such as centres, schools and public places, 

e.g. libraries and cafes. Tutors can work with individuals of 

different ages, backgrounds and abilities, for example school

 children (primary, secondary and sixth form), college and 

university students, adult learners and students with special 

educational needs and disabilities (SEND).



Tutors will have various duties, including planning tutoring 

sessions, assessing students’ work, monitoring their progress,

 providing constructive feedback and reporting back. 

The role also involves administrative work, such as marking 

assignments and preparing progress reports.



A tutor’s main aim is to meet the needs of individual learners 

and help them reach their full potential. They also play an 

important role in helping students struggling with their 

learning and confidence and help progress their studying 

skills.



Tutors will work with students and parents/guardians 

(depending on the student). They may also need to liaise 

with external stakeholders, including tutoring agencies, 

educational providers, insurance providers, other tutors, 

awarding bodies and SEND professionals.



Most tutors are self-employed and have their own tutoring 

businesses. However, they can also work for private tutoring 

agencies, educational providers, charities, community 

interest companies, local authorities or organisations 

providing specific tutoring services

  • Monitoring students’ progress and producing reports.


  • Complying with legislation (e.g. health & safety and safeguarding), tutoring standards, policies and procedures.


  • Managing finances, insurance and other business needs (if self-employed).


 



Personal Qualities Needed To Be A Tutor



  • The ability to keep up with necessary training.


  • Knowledge of teaching and the subjects offered, including how students must meet the assessment criteria.


  • Knowledge of revision and exam techniques.


  • Knowledge of safeguarding if working with children and vulnerable adults.

5-Tutoring Vs Tuition



 



What is tutoring?



Tutoring is typically a one-on-one or small group session 


where a tutor provides individualized instruction tailored to 


the student's needs. Tutors often help with specific subjects 


where the student may be struggling, offering personalised 


attention and customised lessons to address particular 


areas of difficulty.





Benefits of tutoring



1. Personalized attention: 


Tutors can adapt their teaching methods to suit the


 student's learning style, ensuring that concepts are 


understood thoroughly.




2. Flexible scheduling: 


Tutoring sessions can be scheduled at times that are 


convenient for both the student and the tutor, providing 


flexibility for busy families.




3. Focused learning:


 With one-on-one attention, tutors can focus on the 


student's weak points and help them improve more 


effectively.





Drawbacks of tutoring



1. Cost:


Individualised attention often comes at a higher price 


compared to group tuition classes.




2. Limited peer interaction:


 Unlike in tuition centres, students may miss out on the 


opportunity to learn collaboratively with peers.


 



What is tuition?



Tuition, on the other hand, typically refers to structured 


classes conducted in a group setting at a tuition center. 


These classes are often designed to complement the school 


curriculum and provide additional practice and revision. 


Tuition centres may also offer specialised programmes to 


prepare students for major exams.





Benefits of tuition



1. Structured curriculum: 


Tuition centres follow a structured syllabus that aligns with 


the school curriculum, ensuring comprehensive coverage 


of topics.



2. Peer learning: 


Students can benefit from the collaborative environment, 


learning from their peers and participating in group 


discussions.





3. Cost-effective: 


Group classes are generally more affordable than one-on-


one tutoring sessions.




Drawbacks of tuition




1. Less individualized attention:


 In a group setting, it can be challenging for tutors to cater 


to the individual needs of each student.




2. Fixed schedules:


Tuition classes have fixed schedules, which may not always 


be convenient for all students.
