Teaching Style
Using right method of teaching help students to gain confidence in themselves.
Motivation is part of the learning process
Every student is a winner. They have the potential to become what they want to be.
The distance to the top of the ladder is at the bottom of the beginning line. The sooner you start, the faster you get to the top.
My philosophy of teaching conveys three distinctive principles grounded on my personal beliefs:
1) to motivate students toward positive learning
2) to create an environment where students get excited for learning
3) to provide a solid structure for learning.
I enjoy teaching by employing different strategies reinforcing the principle of knowledge, from the latin word “cognocere” from where we employ the word cognitive which means to know. Thus, students have different capacities or levels to learn. I persuade students to exercise their abilities to think through the vehicle of visual and repetition. The language is learned first by seeing, hearing and repeating without understanding concepts. Students are motivated to believe that they all the potential to reach the unreachable.
They need to invest time in order that they could achieve according to their potential. My task is to create an environment where students can feel the learning scenario is an adventure and that they are the main ingredient for learning. I will try to help students make their journey with pleasure and perseverance.
