Hi, um,

0:02

my name is Kiran and I'm from India and I'm studying in the University of

0:06

Amsterdam. And, um, I'm doing a course, uh,

0:10

called Literary and Cultural Analysis.

0:12

It's a course that makes you sort of look at the world through literature

0:18

and literary theory, and I really enjoy the course. And, um,

0:22

I've always wanted to, um, teach after my degree. I, that is,

0:26

that is my main aim. So this would be really great practice for me.

0:31

And I have, uh, a lot of experience with kids and children.

0:34

I have worked at a daycare for a few months, for a lot of months,

0:39

and, um, I didn't work, but I was a volunteer there.

0:43

And I've also done some babysitting and I used to do tutoring back home.

0:47

And so I have a lot of experience with kids and teaching. And, um,

0:52

my approach for teaching is mainly to look at the dynamic that the,

0:57

the student wants the most. And so it would be very student oriented,

1:02

not much my, what I want to do with this student,

1:06

but what the student wants from me. And that would,

1:09

that is what I want to focus on because, uh,

1:12

teaching is a very individual process and learning is also very individual and

1:16

specific and subjective. And so it is, um,

1:20

it is very absolutely necessary that I make every plan and every

1:25

lesson according to the needs of the student and not just my needs.

1:28

And so it would be very, uh, two-way street and not just from my end.

1:32

And, um, I hope to see you in my next lesson. And, uh,

1:37

thank you for watching.
