Meditation before beginning the class

ॐ सह नाववतु ।
सह नौ भुनक्तु ।
सह वीर्यं करवावहै ।
तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
Om Saha Naav[au]-Avatu |
Saha Nau Bhunaktu |
Saha Viiryam Karavaavahai |
Tejasvi Naav[au]-Adhiitam-Astu Maa Vidvissaavahai |
Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||

Meaning:
1: Om, Together may we two Move (in our Studies, the Teacher and the Student),
2: Together may we two Relish (our Studies, the Teacher and the Student),
3: Together may we perform (our Studies) with Vigour (with deep Concentration),
4: May what has been Studied by us be filled with the Brilliance (of Understanding, leading to Knowledge); May it Not give rise to Hostility (due to lack of Understanding),
5: Om Peace, Peace, Peace.

Gurur Brahmā Gurur Viṣṇur Gurur devo Maheśvaraḥ
Guruḥ sākṣāt paraṁ Brahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ

Our creation is that guru (Brahma-the force of creation); the duration of our lives is that guru (Vishnu-the force of preservation); our trials, tribulations, illnesses, calamities and the death of the body is that guru (devo Maheshwara-the force of destruction or transformation). There is a guru nearby (Guru Sakshat) and a guru that is beyond the beyond (param Brahma). I make my offering (tasmai) to the beautiful (shri) remover of my darkness, my ignorance; (Guru) it is to you I bow and lay down my life (namah).

"I hold deep respect for my teachers—not just for teaching me the ABCs, but for shaping my character and values. I am especially grateful to those who instilled in me the importance of discipline, integrity, and kindness. I willingly obey and listen to my teachers and elders, as they guide me with wisdom and experience. Their presence in my life helps me make the right decisions and stay on the right path, even during difficult times. They are the beacons of light who lead me toward a purposeful and meaningful life."

"ನನಗೆ ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳನ್ನು ಬೋಧಿಸಿದ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರಿಗೆ ನಾನು ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲದೆ, ನನ್ನ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿತ್ವ ಮತ್ತು ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ರೂಪಿಸಿದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರಿಗೂ ನಾನು ಆಳವಾದ ಗೌರವವಿದೆ. ಶಿಸ್ತು, ನೈತಿಕತೆ ಮತ್ತು ದಯೆಯ ಮಹತ್ವವನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ಕಲಿಸಿದವರಿಗೆ ನಾನು ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿ ಕೃತಜ್ಞನಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ಹಿರಿಯರನ್ನು ನಾನು ಸದಾ ಗೌರವದಿಂದ ಕೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅವರ ಅನುಭವ ಮತ್ತು ಬುದ್ಧಿಮತ್ತೆ ನನ್ನ ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ತಮ ನಿರ್ಧಾರಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವರು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಸತ್ಮಾರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಡುವ ಬೆಳಕುಬೀರುವ ದೀಪಗಳು."

"मैं अपने शिक्षकों का गहरा सम्मान करता हूँ — केवल इसलिए नहीं कि उन्होंने मुझे वर्णमाला सिखाई, बल्कि इसलिए भी कि उन्होंने मेरे चरित्र और जीवन मूल्यों को गढ़ा। मैं उन सभी का विशेष रूप से आभारी हूँ जिन्होंने मुझे अनुशासन, ईमानदारी और करुणा का महत्व सिखाया। मैं अपने शिक्षकों और बड़ों की आज्ञा मानता हूँ और उनके मार्गदर्शन को स्वीकार करता हूँ, क्योंकि उनका अनुभव और ज्ञान मुझे सही निर्णय लेने और सही रास्ते पर चलने में मदद करता है। वे मेरे जीवन में प्रकाश की तरह हैं, जो मुझे उद्देश्यपूर्ण और सार्थक जीवन की ओर ले जाते हैं।"

 

Online Instructions

Every day before class starts you have to say good evening, madam without fail.  Be ready for the class by keeping all necessary stationery items, books, and bags beside you.

Ask permission from me if you are moving away from the sight of camera. You have to obey my words and do not argue or give back answers.

You have to be patient and maintain discipline when the class is going on.

Each day before class starts you have to give inputs on what has happened in the class regarding the subject you have opted at tuition.

At tuition I would have prepared notes and material from which I will teach according to the textbook.

Students should clarify the doubts and questions at beginning or end of the class, not during the class or in between the class. Students should not interrupt between when teacher is speaking. If you have any doubts, wait until others speak and then ask excuse me madam and take permission saying that, I have one question shall I ask you. If I say yes, you can ask.

Each day I will ask you to do previous class questions and problems on your own and show the answer.

If you cannot do it then I will teach them once again and proceed with a new topic for that day and   this procedure continues each day.

I will not do your homework at tuition, but if you have any problems and questions, I will clear those doubts. I will refer the internet or book and guide you. Do not worry about how teacher is teaching and referring from which source on internet, but students should concentrate on how to understand the concepts and remember them well so they can write the exam and score well.

Thus, you will be guided properly, accurately with clarity. We can use technology and verify the answer is correct or not and self-assure that we are moving in right direction. You should feel comfortable with this method of teaching at tuition.

School approach of teaching is different and the tuition approach of teaching is different. Because In school you will explore or come across new topics for the first time so their method of teaching will be different. At tuition you will be aware of the topic which is already done at school, so only doubts will be clarified at tuition regarding that topic. I may do it once again or revision will be done for that topic.

Finally, you should be able to do the problem yourself and without seeing. There will be many ways to solve a single problem, your teacher might teach in different methods and I try to solve it in different methods, but I follow the textbook only.

If your teacher taught you with a shortcut or simple method, at that time you should show me your classwork or tell me to use the same method that the teacher has taught you in class. because in exams she will give you marks for only you do what she has taught you in class.

You should be regular to class to be successful and score good marks in your exam. You should keep a separate tuition book. Give you textbooks for scanning on Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday evening or Monday morning you can take back the book from me. I use soft copy to teach you online.

You should not lie to teacher and inform what is done at tuition to your parents on daily basis if parents ask you to do so. If parents are busy, keep a diary and note down what is done each day at tuition for your reference and reflection.

Each one has unique qualities and features, so each math’s teacher teaches in different style, you should accept the difference and adopt to changes. For example, do not complain that my math teacher does not use TLM or videos or PPT or black board while teaching, understanding the concept is important not how they teach, what they use to teach. So, each teacher method of teaching is different and the same problem can be solved in many ways, I mean same problem can be solved in many ways, so better to refer your school notes and method and show that to your tuition teacher, so you will have to follow school notes to write your exam. If there are any variations from school notes, textbooks, tuition notes, take that information as extra or general knowledge but refer school notes to write the exam, may be your school teacher excepts the answer given by her in the answer paper.

Everyone has tendency to forget, do you remember what you ate 1st day of previous month, no!. Similarly, students have tendency to forget what they read once. So, you should know techniques to revise everything quickly before exam, so you can recall during exam everything and score good marks. After you go to next class you need some space in memory to store new topics, as a result of natural process you will forget some old topics to accommodate new topics.

But that should not matter as I am not writing exams for you. You have to remember and recall what I have taught you by putting your own efforts apart from what has been taught at tuition. So, at end you score good marks then that credit goes to you 80% and 20% for teachers like me. So, you should be inspired and motivated to take the advantage of tuition also to improve your scores. Without your effort only attending tuition is of no use. Make use of this opportunity properly.

Similarly, I am your instructor who reads many topics only once or twice so even I have tendency to forget like you. Knowledge is vast, so there is no wrong in using technology and verifying our answers from internet.

But sometimes there are wrong information on internet also due to human making mistakes while putting the information on websites. So, you should not totally dependent on internet and take the guidance of teachers. Due to advancement in technology, though younger generation students are sharp and bright than previous generation teachers who are elder and degree holders have learnt more than you and will have experience more than students. So, it is students’ responsibility to respect the elders and listen to them without arguing and giving back answers is not encouraged.

Students should speak politely to teachers; Students should not shout or talk wrongly about teacher during the teacher’s absence also. Teachers are always telling right things in kind manner for students benefit only.

Each student is different from others, all students cannot score same marks, so do not compare with others, but put challenge with yourself and improve your skills, do self-study and drill practice and put efforts based on your capacity and thus improve yourself by staying positive, confident and energetic always. Being consistent and with proper time management will give you good results.

Attendance will be taken daily and the report will be shared with your parents monthly. I also give feedback about your behavior and share your performance results with your parents end of every month.

A letter to you…………….

Dear Student,

Always remember — you are the creator of your own destiny. Your efforts, discipline, and choices shape your future. The marks you score and the results you achieve are the reflections of your own dedication and hard work.

But never forget the role of your teachers in this journey. They are the guiding lights who supported you, believed in you, and helped you grow. Be truly thankful to them, from the bottom of your heart.

Your kindness, humility, and genuine emotions are your strengths. These qualities will not only define who you are but will also help you rise to the top in whatever career or profession you choose.

Believe in yourself, stay grounded, and keep moving forward with gratitude and grace.

With best wishes,
– Your Well-wisher

ನಿನಗೆ ಒಂದು ಮನದ ಪತ್ರ…

ಪ್ರಿಯ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿ,
ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ನೆನಪಿಟ್ಟುಕೋ — ನೀನೇ ನಿನ್ನ ಭವಿಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುವ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ. ನಿನ್ನ ಪರಿಶ್ರಮ, ಶಿಸ್ತು ಮತ್ತು ಆಯ್ಕೆಗಳು ನಿನ್ನ ಮುಂದಿನ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ರೂಪಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ನೀನು ಗಳಿಸುವ ಅಂಕಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಫಲಿತಾಂಶಗಳು ನಿನ್ನ ನಿಷ್ಠೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕಠಿಣ ಪರಿಶ್ರಮದ ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬಗಳಾಗಿವೆ.
ಆದರೆ ಈ ಪ್ರಯಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರ ಪಾತ್ರವನ್ನು ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಮರೆತಿರಬೇಡ. ಅವರು ನಿನ್ನ ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆಯ ದೀಪಗಳು — ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ನಂಬಿಕೆಯಿಟ್ಟವರು, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಬೆಂಬಲಿಸಿದವರು, ಮತ್ತು ನಿನ್ನ ಬೆಳೆಯಲು ನೆರವಾದವರು. ಹೃದಯಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಅವರ ಪಾಥರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಮೆಚ್ಚುಗೆ ಮಾಡು.
ನಿನ್ನ ದಯೆ, ವಿನಯ ಮತ್ತು ನಿಖರವಾದ ಭಾವನೆಗಳು ನಿನ್ನ ಬಲಗಳು. ಈ ಗುಣಗಳು ನಿನ್ನ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿತ್ವವನ್ನು ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲ, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಏನೇ ವೃತ್ತಿಯನ್ನಾ ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡಿದರೂ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠತೆಯತ್ತ ಕೊಂಡೊಯ್ಯುತ್ತವೆ.
ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ನಂಬಿಕೆ ಇಟ್ಟುಕೋ, ನೆಲಕ್ಕೆ ಹತ್ತಿರವಾಗಿರು, ಕೃತಜ್ಞತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಗೌರವದ ಮನೋಭಾವದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮುಂದುವೆಳಿ.

ಹೃತ್ಪೂರ್ವಕ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ,
– ನಿನ್ನ ಹಿತೈಷಿ
