Education: Bachelor’s of Business Administration, Kathmandu University, Nepal

I wanted to join Teach For Nepal after a bitter experience with of one of my teachers who always humiliated students and made fun of their dreams. For me joining Teach For Nepal is an opportunity to motivate and inspire students to dream whether it’s big or small.

Today we evaluate a student based on grades they receive in an exam. All students have different abilities, thought processes, and experiences. So we should evaluate students through different means. A teacher’s primary job is to motivate students because if a teacher is able to motivate a student, almost 90% of the job is done.

While attending Kathmandu University School of Management for my Bachelor’s in Business Administration, I found mathematics and science courses challenging. The school employed some of the best teachers who helped me overcome these hurdles. They were very supportive and friendly, they used various teaching techniques, and they utilized each and every resource and material available to them to make learning fun and easy.

During my Fellowship, I aspire to be like the supportive teachers I have had. Just like me, a lot of students from public schools are facing challenges in learning English, science and math. I want to help them learn by using role-plays, organizing quizzes and asking them to write summaries of chapters. I also plan to provide support for each and every student’s needs according to their abilities. And finally, as a teacher I hope to set a positive culture and value of integrity, hard work, patience and purpose, aided by a strong and positive relationship with both students and parents.
