Cohort number – 1 (Bhagowanpur High School)

Task – (FD6CG2) – Identify a child/children in your school or community and begin coaching them regularly for a month to improve their performance in any particular subject/sport/poetry/dance.

Experience-

The peer pair had a remarkable experience during this task. The pair selected a group of 10 students whom they coached for a month to improve their performance in Geography. The pair didn’t have the provision for giving home tuition, so they came up with a unique idea. They decided to give the tuition in the school during the break period.

For this they reached the headmaster for the permission. After getting the permission, they decided on the subject they will give the coaching and then carried on with other work of surveying. They did a survey of their own class to find the students who are interested and came up with 10 interested students who belong from a weak financial background to afford coaching classes. They started this coaching during the tiffin break which is for 30 minutes. In this class, they solve the problems regarding this subject and also help the students with their quarries. In this manner, they continued this for one month. Though the coaching class is dissolved now, they still help the students whoever comes to them with their quarries regarding any topics in the subject.

Learning-

During this task they learnt about their potential of helping others in learning process. And they also learnt that by sharing knowledge it helps to improve their own skills.

Challenges –

The task was bit challenging as during the survey many students showed interest but later didn’t joined the class or got dropped out. So they were worried at first whether they could complete this task of helping someone by giving them coaching.
