I am dedicated and passionate about the students' I interact with.I get to know students' strengths and weaknesses ,which gives me the opportunity to get to understand them and their backgrounds.I had recently been in a situation ,where a grade 8 student ,had asked me a question on the meaning of ''What is an educator?'',which to my surprise ,they should have known the meaning of it.However ,this did not stop me from explaining the meaning ,as well as ,providing an example.
I have gained tremendous amount of knowledge and guidance from my mentors ,which has paved a platform for me to project and to interpret my methods of teaching to students' ,to simplify and make lessons a memorable one,where each student ,takes away a new piece of information every time.
I have used my experience, to explain, various topics which I interpret in my own way and hope to relate to each student .This opportunity has allowed me ,to simplify essay writing ,by explaining the ''Introduction,body and conclusion'' ,allowing me to also explain how and when to implement the use of a''paragraph''
My time spent at the Primary and High School till current ,has allowed me the opportunity ,to dive into new challenges and to understand different teaching methods from observation.I have projected excellent assistance through exam invigilation, as well as ,class assistance to my mentors.
Through my experiences sitting in on lessons,I have delivered comprehension lessons ,asking each student, to read aloud, which created a platform for students, to practice their speaking and reading skills.This allowed to students' to shy away from fear and nervousness as well.I found that students' were eager to read ,answer the questions ,as well as ,ask questions .
I project a very pleasant and approachable persona ,to both my mentors and to the student's.I found that students' interacted well in class discussions ,which mean't a lot to me ,as I feel that most times students' are afraid to speak up in class ,due to fear or being nervous.This creates a calm environment ,as I always want students' to be calm and comfortable in the classroom.
Whenever I am given the opportunity, to assist in class lessons or to sit in on lessons,I always encourage students' to aim for better ,than they did the day before.I encourage, each individual to be enthusiastic and passionate about each subject, regardless of whether they like or dislike it.For example,I found that minority of students' always sighed when they heard the subject ''Math'' ,I encouraged each student, to work from day one of the subject ,to focus and to dedicate some time to practice ,as it starts in the classroom to pave their desired futures.
I aim to guide students' in the right direction ,and make them aware ,that school is a wonderful place to be ,it has a lot of opportunities ,that can easily be passed up ,if not grabbed with both hands.I believe communication and organisation is extremely important ,I always maintain a friendly atmosphere for students' ,so that they understand ,that I am there, to lead them in the right direction and I am not their enemy ,as most students' do think .I was once in high school ,and I can relate so much to the students' ,that it has become a passion, to steer them into the right path to a bright future.
