The best part of being a teacher is to see the sparks of curiosity in my students’ eyes, to see them so willingly chase for answers. Focus Independent School offers a safe learning ground for students to explore, expand and feed their curious minds. Students are encouraged to practice their inquiry skills. It is always safe to ask questions. One time, too many students challenged me to discuss interesting topics with them.
I cherished teaching English for Grade 5 students in Focus Independent School. Throughout the lesson, students are exposed to different kinds of works of literature. Together with the students, we read stories from around the world, learn essential lessons from famous people by reading their biography, and recites funny poems in the classroom. English is spoken in daily learning to build their confidence in speaking the language actively.
I work on designing fun and meaningful learning to stimulate students’ cognitive growth. I cultivate honesty, kindness, resilience, and perseverance as the core value in the learning process. As I teach them wholeheartedly, I also learn a bunch of new perspectives from my students. ***
