"Dare to dream by making a difference "

During the 3 years in polytechnic i took on the role of a part time tutor for 5 students who came from china, i had no problem in teaching them as i can speak Chinese fluently. Not only that, during lesson, i always encourage them to explore every opportunity to utilise the authentic resources around their environment. In order to achieve this, I would vary my teaching styles while at the same time encouraging critical thinking skills among my students. In my personal point of view, a teacher should dare to be different. I think that learning should not only be limited within the four walls. I will try to make my lessons more relevant and appropriate to my students so that they can relate whatever they learn in the classroom with the ‘real’ environment outside of the academic setting. At the end of the day, my students should be able to relate the knowledge to the society or real life environment.
