How do you teach that helps students learn efficiently?

One of the biggest barriers for students in learning different concepts or subjects is a lack of confidence in themselves. By helping them identify their strengths and passions, I help students be open-minded and critically think and analyse. In doing so, I help students to be better prepared for learning in different subjects. One of the biggest barriers for students currently is a lack of confidence, which results in students being unable to critically analyse, feel comfortable to ask questions or feel positive about learning in general. This essentially is a lack of intrinsic motivation about a subject. As a university student myself, I understand that confidence is essential for students to become independent learners who understand that they can tackle any concept or subject if they can students focus on one thing at a time. I follow a constructivist approach to break this barrier by helping them identify their strengths and existing knowledge and by gradually building upon them.

Why do you enjoy teaching?

I enjoy teaching because it gives me immense satisfaction to help students become more confident in themselves and incite curiosity about the world around us. It is amazing to see students become better versions of themselves as well as become excited about learning in general.
