Satisfaction

Heard some feedback from the parent of my student and i am as happy as a clam. I feel so satisfied and grateful. The student of mine is a foreigner, but so far, he is the most easy-to-teach student that i ever had. The attitude of foreign student really cannot be compared to our locals' attitude. There is no way us the local can behave like this when we were at this age.

According to the parent, my student never likes female teacher and she thought he will never continue attending my lessons after maybe 1 month. As a matter of fact, parent told me this morning that, my student feel sad when i canceled the class last weekend because i was away and cannot reach on time. His mum said, oh my god, can you imagine, he feel sad when you said you have to cancel the class, i think he really likes your teaching.

I told the parent what i feel about my student. He is brilliant in my eyes, and having the right attitude of being a student. The only thing is, he is not so used to the spoon feed system and the "need to do revision at home and go tuition in order to get better grade" stuff. He always pick up fast on what i teach on that day, even though the effects drop until 30% left.

I remember telling his mum regarding the exercises that i gave my student as homework, 40 multiple choice questions. The mum responded, " you gave 40 questions for a exercise? as homework?" i said "yes, and your son answered it all, although he used 3x of the times he supposed to complete, but i am ok with it, as long as he do it, it's good enough for me." Then the mum said: "Him doing his exercise at home? i cannot imagine."

I am so glad and really grateful. This conversation really fill up my heart. I feel so satisfied and flattered. There is nothing better to feel than this. Even though i spent quite some time on preparing the lesson and only getting not so great repayment, but still, after all these, i really think it's worthy. Just like what i felt when i first exposed to the study attitude of foreign students.
