But, good marks can’t not fetch you a good job, he added.

Tutors Pride”, a city-based online resource for private tutors committed to recognize and honour teachers their “Ideal Teaching Practices and Methodologies”.
Lecturing, Demonstrating, Making Students Learn by Doing, Collaborating, Classroom Discussion, Role Plays, Debriefing, Classroom Action Research, Sharing are some of the methodologies adopted by the award winning teachers. Most of the teachers chosen for awards are for their practical approach to teaching.
Teach with VAK--Visual, Audio and Kinesthetic. The Ideal learning environment is when the student sees, hears and feels and the material themselves.
The basic essence behind this exercise was to encourage teachers to develop skills, teach students for life rather than just exams. Go beyond ‘chalk and talk’, ‘drill and kill’. Ideal teacher is the one who excites students about their studies. Teachers score more when they help students develop skills rather than just instruct them. Make them understand, do used them practically in their life. The education must be useful. They must be prepared for the career challenges as well as life challenges for the 21st Century. They must orient them to live and face challenges of being a global citizen, informed Dr. Ankam, of Tutors Pride, the man who conceptualized ITAP program. He has invested considerable amount of time, talent and treasure towards this goal. He is an unsung hero to encourage these teachers.
