A new discovery of Myself!

 What did you discovered about Life TODAY?
 A: I discovered the Teacher in me! I always loved giving advices and helping people out of their problems. But, never in my dreams did I think of seriously teaching anyone. As someone had said, "Better Late than Never". So here goes ... 


The Teacher in Me!!

 To know what inspired me to take up teaching as a part-time hobby, let's have a look at my family background -
  • My father was a high school teacher of Chemistry in the early stages of his career.
  • My mother has done B.Ed and was also a school teacher.
  • My brother has been responsible for conducting training sessions in an IT company.
So, as you see, its only natural for me to have a keen interest in this line. But, since I am a code freak, hence I decided to give it a shot as a part-time hobby.

Some of my students tell me, that I often get so involved into explaining things, that I often end up giving them knowledge even outside their syllabus! Its probably because of one lesson that I learned from one of my professors, "I will know less, but no-one will be able to contest against me in what I know."

1 more reason for taking up teaching seriously, is that it questions my ability on the subject or topic that I am teaching. I believe that if i am not able to prove myself to me, then I got no right to teach anyone. Moreover, teaching gives you a unique insight on the topic, as you start asking questions which you yourself overlooked
as a student.

These days, I find myself evolving and having an inside urge to learn. Its amazing how my perspective to studies has changed. Let's see what I stand to gain from this experience!
