Let me start by saying that I believe that teaching is the noblest professor all over the world. Suffice it to say that only education can save societies and individuals from possible collapse, be it violent or gradual. Of course, education is costly, but it is far less costly than its alternative, ignorance.
I have been a private tutor of English, Psychology and Social studies for past three years.
While teaching, I feel good and happy when my students feel also good and happy because they learnt the key points of my lectures. When my students are not truly satisfied with the content of my teaching, I tell them that on the next classroom, I will explain to them what I have missed in the current lecture. I am not afraid of telling my students that there could be some occasions where I don't know. Indeed, there is always an unknown to be known, and the more we know the more ignorant we are, which they generally accept.
While teaching, I am more a mentor and organizer of learning experiences and situations, such that my students actively understand, reinvent and reconstrcut everything they learn, than a simple transmitter of ready made and established truths imposed on them from outside. In other words, I avoid indoctrination and brainwashing. This means that I make use of the active methods, not the traditional or conservative ones, and appeal to due technology when it is appropriate.
