An achievement to 2016 New Year Resolution

Never had I imagined that I would choose a private tutor path as a career. 8 years into the industry and I'm glad that I made this decision to start teaching. I made a new year resolution last year to step out of my comfort zone and do something different. While I wanted to step out of my comfort zone, stretch my teaching abilities, I also wanted to explore into new realm of teaching. When opportunity presented itself, I made the decision to collaborate with Assouq (An Arabic learning centre) to launch a pilot program to prepare 5-6 year old kids who are entering primary one in 2018. It has been an amazing journey. While the students set out into a journey of new knowledge, making new friends, creating new interest in each subjects, I was also embarking on a brand new journey of lessons preparation, managing young kids interest and feelings. After every lesson, the sense of wanting to give to the kids more increases. Every time I prepare a lesson plan, I'll be thinking about each individual's interest and questioning if they would enjoy the activities prepared. It pushes boundaries where I want to do my best so that the kids can benefit as much as they can. Seeing the kids smile and enjoying their lessons assured me that the decision made to become a full time educator was right. As we move into a new year (2017), every decision made last year for this collaboration felt so right. We are already into our term 2 of our initial pilot batch as we prepare the kids for their examinations in April. We will continue to strive our best, improving on current lesson plan, stretching the kids potential to provide them as much as we can so they will enjoy each subjects. We are already in discussion and preparing for 2nd batch intake and I look forward to an exciting 2017 with Assouq Arabic Centre!

Only a teacher who loves their students will be able to memorise each personalise handshakes because each moves represent a student's uniqueness 😁
