I am a 30 yr old female, fresher in teaching field. I am M.Sc bioinformatics. I have also done B.Ed in 2021. I want to be a science teacher but I lack confidence and due to gap after my B.Ed, it is getting very difficult to get hired. I have tried giving interviews and demos but somehow in my demos I lack confidence and communication skills. I have scored 69 percent in CTET level 1 and will be appearing for CTET level 2 in coming July-24. Kindly suggest me some crash course which can help me in building my teaching skill. I am ready to invest 2-3 months also. I live in New Delhi past 4-5 yes now.

Ans: Considering that you have done a degree in Microbiology it'll be sensible for you to pick up teaching Biology for NEET. One way to enter the field of teaching for NEET would be to attain a practical training experience with training academies of the likes of Resonance, etc.

Ans: It's great to hear that you're passionate about pursuing a teaching career, especially with your diverse background and experience.

You may consider some of the steps below:

1. If you are interested in teaching in school or coaching institutes, find out the ones near your place and send resumes to all of them.

2. Find if any of your contacts are in this field and leverage them

3. Make some youtube videos on different topics and assess your performance

4. Start making your study material

5. Nothing in too small. Start with whatever you can, and, if you continue with sincerity, it will definitely grow.

6. If your brochures didn't yield any response, consider revisiting your marketing strategy. You could try targeting specific neighborhoods, using online advertising, or collaborating with local newspapers or magazines to promote your teaching services.

7. Stay updated on teaching methodologies, educational technology, and the latest trends in education. This will help you adapt your teaching methods and stay relevant.

Remember that building a teaching career takes time, persistence, and adaptability. While it might be challenging initially, your passion and determination can lead you to success in this new endeavor. Good luck on your teaching journey!

Ans: Hello Maa'm.

I can understand your situation...

Suggest you start your youtube channel and upload your videos explaining concepts in simple ways...make these short videos of 8-12 min...This way you will gain confidence as you can always edit, re-do your video plus when you go for interview you can always show your channel, along with degree you will now have something to demonstrate as well.

All the best, I am sure you will be great success ahead...

Warm Regards

Ans: Hello Anjali!!
I am always very happy when someone asks me, "how can I improve". This just proves that you are an individual who is very sorted, someone who knows her strengths and weaknesses. Your willingness to learn and improve is your strength. However at the age of 36 Anjali, it is also time to consolidate on your strengths, make them so huge that weaknesses are not visible.

You are a M Phil B Ed and have the experience of working as a teacher, this is your strength. If you are going to work as a teacher in English speaking countries, you need to develop good English writing and speaking skills. Seeing your message this needs improvement . Whichever country you are willing to work, you need to see the rules and degrees required for employability in that country. Additionally if you can learn a little bit of the culture and etiquette of that country, it'll always be an advantage.

All the best Anju!
