What Corps Members Are Saying ...

“I love the videos. Coincidentally, today was my first class as a Corper. I absolutely enjoyed listening to Module one. Going into my next class, I’ll be better prepared to communicate with my students as well as understand that I can only succeed in my teaching if my students understand the lesson. Thank you so much!”

Christian Eno-Obong Batch B, Stream 2 English Teacher,Obogoro, Balyesa State.

I found the videos interesting…. I now understand how quite often a teacher’s determination and zeal can transform the classroom into a place where better learning is possible. Thanks for putting such a great piece out there. I believe this should be a must-watch for every first-time teacher/corps member...

Happiness Columbus Batch B, Stream 2 Literature Teacher, Orogbum, Rivers State.

… as a corps member serving in a school, I strongly agree with the video saying that teachers should not discuss personal matters with the students but can create a friendly environment where the students or pupils can relate or seek advice that promotes their educational and physical knowledge or well-being.

Asoka Halimot Batch B, Stream 1 English Teacher, Maiduguri, Borno State.

I love the aspect of being friendly to your students and creating boundaries ... as a corps member serving in a government school, I know that majority of the students love to play and can be nonchalant to their studies. By watching the videos, I understand that I can enhance my students' learning ability by creating a framework for friendship...

“The videos are easy to understand. I wish I had this information before starting out at my PPA especially the component about earning the respect of my students…. It was extra knowledge for me and very educative.”

Omoshaye Esther Batch B, Stream 1 Biology Teacher, Oluyole, Oyo State.

The videos were broken to the most simplified state. I love the videos, it was educating to listen to module one. Now, I know what I need to do as a teacher to my students, how to communicate better with my students so as to have students who are properly trained and tutored.

Obamiro Faith Batch A, Stream 2 Agriculture Science Teacher,Ikole, Ekiti State.

The course is very educative. It is an excellent start especially for those that have no prior teaching experience…. I like that the videos are not too long and they are very easy to understand.

Nneka Joy Batch 1, Stream 1 CRS Teacher,

It is a good thing you’re doing. It’s not too long and also to the point. I think it’s something that they should have shared with us in camp, not just the lecture that they did. It’s nice.
