How have you represented PTP?
Teaching is a huge responsibility but also a great way of learning about yourself and improving yourself. Throughout my time at PTP, I was happy to see my students succeed, but also to be able to help other people with what I am succeed at. Teaching a language is always difficult due to the challenges you are facing. Everyone thinks differently, the same word may have a different images attached to each individual. I am very lucky to be able to work with my students patiently and to help them to correct their pronunciation, find the best way to remember words and practice listening again and again. A very big thank you to Tina and Maggie for providing a chance for me to help other people. I will continue my teaching humbly and keep challenging myself to be the best tutor I could for all my students. I shall continue to carry out the mission of PTP: create a positive environment to empower students and improve their academic performance for a better future.
How has PTP impacted you?
I made new friends while waiting on the bench. I had a lot of great conversations with other people through this platform and it inspired me to be a better person in a lot of ways. There is an old saying: “The rose is in her hand, the flavor in mine.” PTP is the beautiful garden with all the flowers that a student needs.
