Along with one my friends, Giri, i decided that it would be a good experience for me to teach classrooms in a public school called Arya Vedic. For two weekends I went to this school taught different aspects of science and mathematics. In my classroom there were only a few students which made it easier for me to interact with children and also allowed to me to pay attention to the children's individual problems with understanding different topics.
I found it quite challenging when a child asked me explain a certain aspect in a different manner, maybe because i was only taught it one way but when i went home and mulled over the question i found that there were so many possibilities to answer the question. The next day i explained to the child and immediately he understood the problem. This demonstrated to me that solving problems need a broader view so that you can look at a problem through a number of perspectives.
This experience enabled me to enhance my leadership and communicating skills. It was interesting to see how i am able to explain aspects in different ways thereby enabling the children to receive a broader view of the subject. Also i had to become extremely organized as i had to prepare the lessons on advance and also get any materials that may be needed for the classroom on the day. The children were enthusiastic and enjoyed learning from me, which was great to witness.
