IdentityI believe teaching is the noblest profession.Suffice to say only education can save societies & individuals from collapse,be it violent or gradual. Of course, education is costly,but it is far less costly than its alternative, Ignorance.
I have graduated in Physics from Fergusson College,Pune. Completed Masters in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology,Bombay (IIT Bombay).I have been professionally tutoring for the last 3 years at the undergraduate and graduate level.
I feel content when my students feel happy after learning the key deliverables.I am more a mentor and organizer of learning experiences such that students understand,reinvent & reconstruct everything they learn.In other words,I avoid indoctrination and brainwashing.I make use of the active methodology and PowerPoint presentation understand the concepts.While teaching, I tend to be authoritative, not an authoritarian. Authoritative figures are demanding in intellectual terms, but warm in terms of social interaction.
As for my teaching, I follow a 2-step approach.
1st, to teach such that student become capable of dispensing with me qua professor in a more or less near future.
2nd, students can raise what I call "irritating" questions and doubts. Irritating means whose answers advance knowledge and lead us to a better knowledge of the unknown.(for eg, irritation of Catholic Church because of Newton's challenge of the geocentric theory).All great scientists raise irritating questions and challenge the status quo.
