I have 2 years of teaching experience. I am a TEFL certified. When I was teaching at Digiserv Coding school, there was one learner who was struggling to keep up with other learners so I would repeat each point few times to make him understand the topic. I would also ask other students to ask him questions so that I see he understands. I also had one leaner who was very stubborn, I would keep calm and maintain to listen to his opinion first, because if I would argue over any subject, I would worsen the condition. IN contrary, I would call him privately and discuss with him so that I find the root cause of his behaviour, and this has worked because after the discussion the leaner would have drastically changed his behaviour. I would also give out rewards instead of punishments.

My high school teacher had a profound effect on my decision to work in education. She taught us figurative languages, such as idioms, similes, and metaphors. she wrote the lyrics of a popular pop song on the board and explained how the chorus used figurative language. Including the song helped her establish a connection with us, and I remember it was easy for me to identify the difference between the concepts by signing the lyrics. I wanted to become a teacher to incorporate my students' interests in curriculum and make lessons more engaging.
