Meet Your Teacher: Joy
"Teaching found me. I was originally a marketing specialist and worked in a multinational company as a brand manager for many years. When I moved to Oman, I decided to teach in High school. I did for 10 years while teaching at The British Council too. I was the only Indian, colored teacher there. I find teaching very satisfying. I always push my students to discover their potential and when they do, it gives me the greatest satisfacion. I have taught different classes but the one I have taught for 13 years now is IELTS. This is a course I enjoy the most because when my students get their required band score, they are elated and can start working on their other career goals. I just love seeing them succeed. My class is my stage, my students are my captive audience, I create my own dialogues and when they pass and succeed it is for me a box office hit. I am the actor, director and producer of my own show. That is what I love the most. Teaching is my life and if I don't teach I know I will die. I learn from my students, they learn from me. I sing, dance, tell jokes and when I teach I am in a different world. What else can I say?"
