How do you teach that helps students learn efficiently?

As a school educator, I believe that learning by doing is vital as it allows students to enjoy the process of learning. Students must experience his/her lesson. If she experiences it well, it will give them deeper understanding that they remember it for long time.  By coming out with fun and engaging activities with specific concepts in mind, I will engage the students in an immersive learning experience where they can make use of things around them to learn.

There must be two ways communication during learning session. Teacher must encourage students to speak that teacher know whether students already understand or not. Teacher must find ways  that learning process runs well and in fun environment.

Why do you enjoy teaching?

Teaching students is my passion. Seeing my student improve with their academic achievement and character is my goal. When my students get improved I will be very happy. I like to discuss with my students how to make the class run in a happy and fun environment but student must really focus on his / her lesson.

What’s one fun fact about you?

I take joy in learning new skills and trying out various things. I will keep trying to find ways how to make my students find his/her way to understand the lesson easily and with fun. I will keep searching dislike or like of the student that I can avoid something he/she dislike and follow something what she/he likes.
