A teacher is a maker of all professions; a teacher plays a greater role than any other profession in shaping and building the future of a civilization. After parents, teachers exert the maximum influence on a human mind. That is the most challenging and the most fascinating part of being a teacher, the ability and the opportunity to mold a human mild. Since an early age, I was always enchanted by the kind of effects my teachers would have on me. Observing my teachers and their interaction and impact on me, I have built this education philosophy for myself that every human being wants to learn and is capable of learning and improving their lives. All the educator has to do is listen to them, understand their circumstances and make them realize that they can do it.

A teacher doesn’t have to teach, a student is not looking for knowledge; the knowledge is available on the tips of their fingers; all the students need is somebody to direct them on the path of learning by making them aware of what they need to learn and how can they learn. My concept of education is aptly told in the Hanuman-Jamwant incident from the Ramayana, and like Hanumana, I think the students know what they are supposed to learn and how can they learn the needed skills and knowledge, the teacher has to push them towards the realization of their learning goals. Based on this motivational concept of education, I believe that a teacher and a student must have a sibling like relationship. In this kind of teacher-student relationship, what I expect is that there is respect, like one has for his/her elder sibling, but also a strong bond which enables both persons to share their concerns and ideas freely.

Further, in a sibling-like relationship, the teacher is not somebody who is always there to teach, more so often, the teacher can learn something from his/her students. In fact, if a student can enter this class with a feeling that they are not there to learn but to discuss, share and debate the concept/skill in question, the learning would be more effective and long-lasting. Following this concept of education, I hope that my students would always remember me as their elder brother, who was always there whenever they needed a brotherly advice and interactions with whom had created a difference in their life.
