Overview

With over 18 years of experience in soft skills training, communication skills, and MS Office proficiency, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my role as an educator. Holding a Bachelor of Commerce degree, I embarked on my teaching journey in 2004, initially focusing on providing home tuitions to students.

Throughout my career, I have also held positions in sales and marketing, where I have further honed my communication and interpersonal skills. Currently serving as a Sales and Marketing Manager at a reputable company, I leverage my extensive background in communication to excel in my professional endeavors.

In addition to my corporate responsibilities, I am deeply passionate about education and have continued to engage in teaching activities. Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching a diverse range of students, including international learners, both online and offline. I have taught students from various backgrounds, including those from Google, and have recently expanded my reach by joining platforms like UrbanPro.

My teaching approach emphasizes interactive sessions that encourage active participation and engagement from students. Whether online or offline, I conduct one-hour sessions that are tailored to the specific needs and learning objectives of my students. Additionally, I offer short courses consisting of 10 hours of intensive training to provide in-depth instruction on specific topics.

During live sessions, I utilize a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, discussions, and practical exercises, to facilitate a dynamic and stimulating learning environment. I encourage students to ask questions, share their insights, and actively participate in the learning process.

While I do not rely on traditional teaching materials, I provide my own notes that summarize key concepts covered during the sessions. These notes serve as valuable resources for students to review and reinforce their understanding of the material at their own pace.

Overall, my goal as an educator is to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in their personal and professional lives. Through effective communication, practical training, and personalized support, I strive to make a positive impact on the educational journey of each student I teach.

Accenture does encourage employees to participate in Learning and   Development Skills; activities, including soft skill trainings.   You get the best trainers, they are being hired from outside and you will also find few within themselves.   

Soft skill generally focuses on interpersonal/communication/ people skills. You could also be participating in role plays, team management activities to understand the dynamics of working in a team. These are few of the learning components within the soft skill training program which will help you develop your people skills.

Hello Deepti, I have seen gone through your queries and yes I too genuinly agree the students probably need to be charged for DEMO sessions too.  As when we connect t students our coins are deducted and the students just come for DEMO, we give our 100% to ensure that they understand the entire structure how sessions would go, how it would be helpful for them and we also give some tips, we try to reframe their minds, we assist with so many concersn or queries they have.  And at the end they don't even revert saying no I would not be going ahead.  Our coins get wasted and we keep waiting.  We have to regurarly keep with our followups. 

I have come across with several students who are too rude, as though they are doing a favour connecting with us.  I have personally felt this. 

I believe DEMOS should be charged, only then they too would know the value of our teachings.   

 

Some of the students do assure of joining, we convert them to students too.  Later they disappear.  

Correct screening of students is must.  As learning and understanding langauge is not a joke.  We give ourselves with more than required and at the end there's much of disappointment.
