Mutual understanding as a core of teaching process

To my mind a great relationship in between a tutor and trainees is constructed on a strong foundation of trust, observance and mutual understanding. To successfully assess students' wants and needs, the instructor needs to initially understand learners and the place they are originating from. The teacher must be the first to open the doors of good communication, as not all children and parents will show that initiative. The tutor should also be prepared to communicate her/his own expectations to the students; having a genuine attitude toward her/his students and showing an interest for their learning and their lives is essential when doing this. If both the instructor and trainees realise each other's objectives and perspectives, the building elements of mutual trust are developed. The instructors and students should have and seek trust as people and identities; teachers likewise look for trust in the work-related meaning yet need to be careful the way they stick to it. As an instructor, I will adopt a position of administration, however I do not wish to be an autocratic or tyrant. I will additionally have the opportunity to be a friend and a trusted person for a number of my students, however I do not want to cross the boundary of competence.

Teaching, learning and experience

I believe that to stimulate study in the very best method possible, the tutor should be passionate about the material being learned, even in case her or his students aren't. She or he needs to be the coach for the trainees, and explain the advantages about each trainee's activity in an honest method, alongside positive critical notices. She/he must be ready to listen and compromise, but be decisive in her/his choices and guarantees.

A teacher is not simply a teacher but lifetime student. Therefore, she or he needs to likewise continue to construct her/his state of professional understanding, taking additional trainings, advancing her/his degree and attending meetings and lectures with fellow teachers to exchange concepts and theories and discover new things in order to give her or his trainees the latest information possible.

My philosophy of education is based on exactly what I understand and have face before in my work. I am sure that my teaching approach will alter as I discover more as a new expert. That is one of the gifts of being human; we often take wrong steps, or learn something innovative, and make a modification for the much better. I am thrilled about the upcoming opportunities.
