Teaching Job Experience - Please Advice

with poor wherewithal during my schooling, mom suggested to teach indigent young ones in my area. I began tution for poor students free but the parents of those young ones soon offered help many ways not necessarily by cash but mor by kind. Those humble beginnings comes to mind. If one has passion for a particular profession she or he might succeed. Free tution attracted many and later days it gave rich dividends.
Regards.
God bless.

 

Regarding those options the only thing i am not sure is how many of those can you work from india ... most of the projects asked for usa based address or some other such info. your sister can definitely look for suitable ones and try those to make some money while she goes on to recover fully . all the best.


also if schools are demanding , may be she can try teaching in coaching classes for competitive exams or teaching basic computer classes and coding in institutions offering PGDIT etc .. they are pretty easy and less physically taxing as you only teach selected days for certain limited hours . i did this more than a decade back so kind of outdated with the current scenario. though i did see few eng graduates making more money doing this than a regular job during my india visits.

 

OP- I feel that you did not get a good sense of the teaching profession here. I come from a family of teachers- starting from my grandfather, my parents, uncles, and aunts, sisters/cousins, etc. Like any job, teaching also requires hard work but you don't have to be an athlete. There is no running around the kids, teachers are not required to do so. A teacher can ask for a chair if there are health issues and needs to sit and teach. She might need to take a flight of stairs but I am sure by the time she is back to the workforce she should be able to do it. Most schools have moved on to white-board and markers instead of chalk or she can buy her own anti-dust chalk.

In my opinion, teaching younger kids is harder than a bit older. The middle-high school will be a good place for your sister to start. Once she has her lesson plans made, she can improve on those and don't have to start from scratch every year. Again, in my humble opinion, most kids are not spoiled brats, they are just opinionated kids.
