Mutual understanding as a core of teaching process

In my opinion a good communication between a tutor and her/his learners is built on a strong basis of observance, mutual understanding and confidence. In order to effectively evaluate trainees' needs and wants, the teacher should first comprehend her/his scholars and where they are coming from. The instructor needs to be the first to initiate great interaction, as not all parents and students will reveal that effort. The teacher needs to also want to communicate her/his personal hopes to the students; with a genuine mindset toward her/his trainees and showing a care for both their study and their lives is essential when doing this. In case the instructor and trainees realise each other's goals and perspectives, the building elements of mutual trust are established. Both teachers and learners are worthy of and strive for trust as human beings and personalities; tutors also seek trust in the professional sense yet should beware the way they set about it. As a teacher, I will certainly take a position of management, however I do not desire to be an authoritarian or despot. I will additionally have the chance to be a friend and a trusted person for numerous of my trainees, but I will not step over the boundary of professionalism.

What makes a good teacher

I believe that to encourage study in the finest method possible, the tutor needs to be passionate about the subject being learned, even in case her or his students aren't. The teacher should be the instructor for the students, and show the benefits about each trainee's operation in a genuine method, together with constructive critical notices. She/he should want to split the difference and hear, but be strong in her/his pledges and decisions.

A teacher is not just an instructor but lifetime student. Therefore, she/he needs to likewise keep to create her/his state of expert understanding, taking additional trainings, advancing her or his rate and attending workshops and lectures with fellow teachers to share concepts and theories and learn new things in order to give her/his trainees the latest details possible.

My philosophy of education is based upon exactly what I understand and have experienced at this point in my career. I am sure that my mentor philosophy will change as I discover more as a new expert. That is one of the presents of being human; we often take wrong steps, or find out something new, and make a change for the better. I am delighted about the chances that lie ahead.
