As a college student, taking up a part-time job as a teacher seemed like entering a totally different world. I’ve been teaching more than a year now, and it hasn’t been easy at all, but there were some incredible moments too. It took some time to get used to this job, but the experience was worth it.
Initially, my greatest challenge was self-doubt. Being among older, more experienced teachers made me wonder if I belonged. I had to work harder than everyone else to prove myself. Also, keeping university and teaching separate is an ongoing battle. I want to perform well in my studies, but I also want to design engaging lesson plans for my students. This usually means late nights lesson planning leaving me, and having to push through when I study.
Even with the tough parts, this job has been amazing. It has transformed me in many ways. Teaching children and teenagers has taught me patience and empathy. Furthermore, I find it very rewarding to teach what I know to others and help them learn. I’ve also learned how to mix fun with the structure, keeping class engaging while making sure everyone learns.
Teaching isn’t always easy, but I love helping my students and seeing their creativity grow. It makes everything worthwhile. Thisjob is important to me and I want to keep on improving every day
