Seminar - Part 2

Our second seminar was attended by only 3 students. As long as there were students, I really don't mind.

Our youngest student in level E - who is only 8 attended. As this was her first time attending a "seminar" she thought it was a party. Anyway, i let her giggle throughout the day.

Nothing much to report on this seminar

SEMINAR - Part 1

This month, I planned seminars for students doing topics from fractions onwards. At this point, their fundamental skills should be strong. Most of them, are advance students and have started to struggle with homework given. The only way to keep them motivated is to invite them for group interactive seminar.

I prepared the basic outline but most of the flow was determined by them. They gave a lot of feedback. With small groups I think they'd feel more at ease. We had Meshalini, David, Ashwin, Sathiya and Trish this week. With the success of our very first last Tuesday, I'll want to continue doing it next month.

Funny how Sathiya and David asked me if they can join next week's seminar. That's what I call INSPIRING!!!!!

Why I get up every morning?


Would you believe if I say this boy once tried to bite me? He even scratched, punched and pushed me away?

That was 2 years ago. Now, he's "My Man!!!". He's still the same. Can't sit properly, can't focus very well yet, can't have him at the centre without hearing him sneezing, BUT he never failed to do his homework, he's always punctual and HE SMILED FOR THE CAMERA!!!!

Match made in the Centre

One day in my life

Part 1

A nice day at the centre started by Daniel greeting us "Hi Teacher!!!!!" .........


Part 2
Obediently, Daniel started his work......
Part 3
Daniel suddenly found out that the table can be pushed and moved......
Part 4
He later found out that it was much more fun to be on the book shelves......
Part 5
In the end, he decided that to be on the shelves was what he wanted.....
Between the desks and the shelves, I had to pull, pinch, squeeze, slap and begged.
Before he left, he gave me a hug!!! Do you think I should give up this profession??????
