Given is an excerpt of the interview with Shivani Desai:
Q. How you started your career as a German Language Teacher?
Ans. Learning a new language has always fascinated me since my college days. Germany as a country has rich cultural heritage with a strong historical background. It is one of the top countries to visit in my ‘Travel Dairy’. I embarked on my journey of learning German soon after my graduation. Starting with the basic levels of German always seemed like a challenge to be accomplished, as it is considered as one of the most difficult European languages. The passion and interest for the language inspired me to teach.
Q. What skills and qualities do you think helps you to from stand out other German trainers?
Ans. Coming to skills and qualities there isn’t much I would like to write pages. But one thing that I often hear from most of my students is that German is my second nature and with time it’s proving to be first! The interest and passion for the language just makes me better at it. The simplicity and logical method of teaching attracts students to acquire this valuable knowledge from me.
Q. How you came to know about UrbanPro?
Ans. UrbanPro just happened on a Mouse Click. While I was searching for a platform to enhance my skills and offer German language services, I came across ThinkVidya.com which is now popularly known as UrbanPro. UrbanPro is one of the best platforms for teachers as well as students to meet their learning requirements. Being a part of UrbanPro is amazing and over the years the marketplace has given me good exposure and a platform to showcase my abilities. I feel I took the right decision of registering with UrbanPro.
Q. How UrbanPro platform helped you to expand your German classes?
Ans. UrbanPro has helped me immensely in expanding my business by simplifying the process of connecting with students. The leads generated from UrbanPro is way too high and beneficial for every teacher. I must say it is one of the best platforms that comes with very affordable price basket.
Q. What percentage of your work comes from UrbanPro?
Ans. Around 70 % of my work comes from UrbanPro and rest 30 % from reference. Cheers to UrbanPro!
Q. What do you think makes a good German Language Teacher?
Ans. Creativity and the art of making the subject interesting makes you a good teacher. Being innovative in your mode of communicating the language and wide variety of courses that you can offer catering to individual needs, makes you popular and favorite among your students.
Q. One piece of advice you would like to give to new German trainers on UrbanPro?
Ans. The more numbers of reviews you have from the students, the more reliable your profile looks and reviews speak for your work. I would like to tell all the teachers to get as many genuine reviews they can from the students as they help other students to decide their favorite tutor.
