Teaching People - 13 to 30

"It's not 'I cannot be able to'. We say 'I am not able to.....'", I corrected her. I do not know if teaching profession is exciting or adventurous for others, for me it is pretty cool and rocking. I deal with spoken english, soft skills, personality development, group discussions and interview skills @ POWER Spoken English Institute (www.powerspokenenglish.com) .

A motivational and inspiring quote starts my class perfectly followed by a few activities full of energy, fun as well as gyaan. The activities range from crossword puzzles to roleplays to story narration. The class usually ends with a homework or a summary of the points. Now, those of you who thought teaching is the most boring job, let me tell you, it's one of the most challenging and interesting ones.

My job gives me the oppurtunity to interact with a variety of people - from 13 to 30. An VIIIth class student from DPS who is brilliant at science to a marvadi businessman owning an optical showroom at eluru road. A young politician from Mylavaram to a muslim woman from kerala. And there are Students from CA, Pharmacy, Engineering, MCA, MBA and many other degrees.
Isnt't it exciting?

When i took my first class, i remember how girls were so scared to even open their mouth and just in a span of 1 week, they could come on to the stage and narrate stories to the audience. Whenever i ask, "How are you all?", they energize me with their reply "On Top the World". Never before in my life has a group of 20 people stood up to welcome my entry into the class. It truly feels on top of the world. Of course, there is some amount of mischief too, giggling and chatting in between classes is usual. The next 3-4 months until i get a call from TCS, this profession is going to be fun.
