This is me tutoring one of our students in preparation for their upcoming examination. Some might see it as extra work, but for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Not only does it give me a little extra income, but it also keeps me productive, which I love. Teaching is more than just a job for me—it’s something that truly makes me happy.
During our tutorial sessions, I get to focus on my student’s individual needs, helping them understand challenging topics at their own pace. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about seeing that “aha” moment when a difficult concept finally clicks for them. It reminds me why I chose this path in the first place—because education has the power to transform lives.
Beyond just reviewing lessons, I also try to make learning enjoyable and stress-free. Exams can be overwhelming, and I want my student to feel confident and prepared, not just memorize information. Seeing their progress and growing confidence makes every session worth it.
At the end of the day, whether I’m in the classroom or tutoring one-on-one, teaching brings me so much joy. Knowing that I can help someone improve, gain knowledge, and believe in themselves makes all the effort worthwhile. And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I am always happy to meet a passionate teacher. They matter so much because they are transforming lives. I work as special educator and I am passionate about the world that I do

I salute to all the teachers. It's really your passion producing great leaders and successful men. I admire you for that. but teaching isn't for me. I grew up watching the sacrifices my mother who was a teacher underwent. She woke up early to take care of our needs before we all went to school. In the evening, I watched her doing her lesson plans and other materials needed for her work. That was so tiresome. That is why I promise to myself that I won't become a teacher.
