About Me

An experienced teacher in economics, accounting, and Finance. As a lecturer and researcher in the field of business administration, I have taught many students over the years. I never start to lecture before getting to know my students a bit and gauge their potential for an interactive discussion. I ask them to introduce themselves and their backgrounds, their aspirations and idea of self. Learning is a unique experience for all and they know their own best way to approach and add to their reservoir of information. Standardized method of instruction does not address their unique self and therefore cannot be too effective. Addressing them by name, sometimes referring to their particular areas of interest helps me relate to them at a more personal level. Every student is like an island with a different culture, different habitat and the job of a teacher at a professional institute is to ensure harmony between all those cultures, maintain a positive atmosphere and encourage diversity. For that, sometimes we have to speak their language and connect to them in the most efficient manner. As I don’t believe in imparting standardized level of input, I don’t expect a run off the mill output. I understand that some of my students will be more compassionate than the others. Some will turn out to be career sharks. Some would turn out to be professional vigilante, some may even opt for a change in profession after completing their education. Therefore, I don’t expect them to fit any cardboard cutout of their seniors or their instructors, even me. Teaching is a creative process. I watch them change as I change with them, none of us sure of how we will turn out at the end of the session.
