Well, what an irony. Out of all the topics in the world my 2nd blog is on education (CAT to be in particular). I hope my professors are reading this. Probably they would realize how wrong they were in giving me those monstrous gradesJ.
Three months of idle time can transform any individual (kindly include the previous 2 years as wellJ). March, 2009 witnessed a near impossible event. From being a student throughout my life, I decided to step into the shoes of an instructor.
With no idea whatsoever I strolled into a Career Launcher center. The moment I met the center head I was greeted by a big million dollar smile (Rs.15000 to be exact. That’s what candidates pay for a yearlong training in this part of India). Unfortunately, his happiness was short lived as I told him that I was there to get paid rather than pay.
I have no idea as to what on earth occurred to him, I was offered a Quant/ DI instructor position immediately. Probably that was my lucky day (should have gone to a casino insteadJ).
March 9 was D Day. My first lecture as an instructor was on “Data Sufficiency and Data Interpretation Based on Percentages”. It was a 2 hour long, enjoyable (at least for me, not sure about the students) and informative (I learnt more than the studentsJ) session.
Since then there has been no looking back. Every weekend I take approximately 6-8 hours of classes. The feedback has been very encouraging, and the centre head is very pleased (probably the students feel inspired after seeing me, if he can do it then anyone canJ).
From the past few weeks, I have moved onto a more matured role of conducting workshops for CAT aspirants. These workshops are held once a month. I will post the presentation and other relevant details in the coming weeks. Till then it’s TATA J
