Teaching in Ashram 3

I started my class 5 min early because I reached there at 12 and had 15 min left with me. I love to teach them because during teaching they are not the only one learning but I also learn many things about human behavior and techniques of teaching. From my present knowledge and experience I can say that teaching is not an easy task. I myself prepared few tests and asked them to solve that. I realized that Raja‘s grasping power is very good because he gets the point very fast. Next time, I am planning to get some printed worksheets for them to solve and understand in deep. This will increase their interest in the subject and then they will try to find new ways to learn more and I will get more and more things to teach. Now a days, they also ask me about some of their other doubts. They feel satisfied after my guidance.

Planning went in vain when I found that in rush I forgot the worksheet I made for Veer and Raja. When I saw them they were having big nutty smile on their faces. I sarcastically asked them “What’s the matter?” and they replied “Sir, please teach us about laptop.” I smiled and had no words. I checked their knowledge in 5 questions and started with basic booting. I told them about the difference in cold and warm booting. Showed them videos and told them about the different uses of computer/laptop in life. I am friendly with them so that they don’t hesitate to ask me anything. I will surely make some new work sheets and will bring the old one also so that they can practice it as homework.

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

This quote brought a big difference in my thinking. I was very happy when, we planned our new task of going to Vidharbh Vanvasi Ashram and teaching kids. We consulted the authority and told them about our plans. The authority got impressed and asked us to start as soon as possible. They were very happy and praised us for doing such a good job. They consulted about the timing as they were more concern for us and were having no problem in any time. After our discussion we came to conclusion of coming every week which was Saturday 12 noon. After all this I was very eager to meet them. I started thinking that the children will be of grade 3rd, 4th and 5th.

When I went to Vidharbh Vanvasi Ashram I was shocked to see that my students Veer and Raja were of 12th and 11th respectively. I introduced myself and started to know, how much they knew about English. So, that I get some clue on how much they know? Here, I learnt to explain and got to know what difference it makes to them. In this competitive world I will help them to progresses.

I started with the basics and taught them to greet and introduce themselves. I faced problem when I was unable to explain them some meanings and then I explained them from pictures. I also gave them some ideas about the functioning of laptop. They both were happy as their face were glowing.
