Here is an excerpt of the interview where he shared his exciting and successful journey as a C Language Trainer on UrbanPro.
Q. How and when you started as a C Language Trainer?
Ans. It all started in 2006, when I was doing my first year graduation in Computer Science from Siva Subramaniya Nadar College of engineering, #1 private engineering college in Tamil Nadu. I got a chance to teach my dad’s friend’s son who was in 9th standard (CBSE) for Computer Science and Mathematics. I took the opportunity and continued for 4 years till my student completed his 12th standard and I completed my degree.
I got a job from my college placements, but I want to follow my passion and continue teaching as a part-time vocation, as I was passionate about it. So I printed small pamphlets with details about my experience and distributed among school students (when school students finishes their classes).
I distributed around 1,000 pamphlets and got a call for home tutoring. That was the small start. Then I registered with UrbanPro (then it was ThinkVidya.com), I received another call where I used to take classes on Saturday and Sunday for 9th Standard Computer Science, Mathematics, travelling almost 20 kms.
I am a Senior Software Engineer from a reputed MNC but that didn’t stopped me in continuing teaching giving my best to the students.
Over the years, the number of students increased. I give Home Tuitions, Online Tuitions and also teach in institutes. In 2015, I trained a batch completely from TalentSprint institute in Chennai. As a result, I shared my knowledge to 200+ students across India and countries including US, UK, Canada and Brazil (online classes for abroad students). I am overwhelmed to receive 83 positive reviews from students and winning 2014 & 2015 UrbanPro Excellence Award.
Q. What skills and personal attributes do you think a good C Language Trainer should have?
Ans. Any programming trainer should train the students more practically. The trainer should give more programs to practice and take the classes with a more practical approach. The trainer should be friendly to the students.
Q. How you came across UrbanPro?
Ans. I was browsing through internet for tutoring sites back in 2010/2011. Then, I came across UrbanPro and got registered.
Q. What do you think you wished you had known early on UrbanPro?
Ans. I am lucky enough to join UrbanPro so early in its starting stage itself.
Q. What percentage of your work comes from UrbanPro?
Ans. 70 – 80% of the work comes through UrbanPro.
Q. How UrbanPro helped you reach your training potential?
Ans. It is a pretty good site that list tutors and showcase their skills in a very organized manner. So for the students who are in search of a tutor for C programming language can easily search my profile and get in touch with me. UrbanPro is very transparent and provides an excellent platform to both students and tutors.
Q. One advice that you would like to give to new Pros on UrbanPro.
Ans. Be passionate about the subject you teach, other things will follow you. Get reviews from students that can help your profile stand out from others.
