My teaching method differs from student to student and it's more of an individual approach than that of a standard one. I mainly teach school students. The class structure depends on the portions that are to be covered and it's also based on the strengths of the student.

  • Tell us more about your subject. How did you develop an interest in this field?

    I developed an interest in this field because of my English teacher. Her teaching methods were captivating and inspiring. She is also one of the reasons why I chose to teach English in particular.
  • What or who is the motivation behind you choosing to teach & why?

    Again, it was my 8th grade English teacher who inspired me to choose this field. She was very sincere and she genuinely cared for her students.
  • How does your work help society?

    I believe I play a small role in carving the future of a society- ie by moulding students and making them confident in a language that's internationally recognized.
  • If you had to think of a role model for your work, who do you think of & why?

    I have never had a role model other than my English teacher.
  • Tell us about your hobbies outside teaching.

    My hobbies include crocheting and gardening.
  • Do you have an anecdote to tell us about your student or professional life?

    I don't have anecdotes as such but the greatest happiness I used to get while working as a school teacher was to see the kids who are struggling with the language pass their examinations.
