๐ A Conversation with Shakir Shabir Bhat โ Admin of Naamroshan Asked:
Q1: What motivates you to keep teaching with so much dedication?
A: Since I was a child, teaching has always been close to my heart. I used to enjoy explaining lessons to my friends and helping them understand difficult topics. This love for teaching has only grown stronger with time. What motivates me the most is seeing my students improve and succeed. When they come back and tell me they passed exams or understood a hard subject because of my help, it gives me great happiness. Teaching is not just a job for me; it feels like a responsibility to give back to my community and help build a better future for the younger generation.
Q2: What do you think is the key to making mathematics easier for students?
A: Mathematics can seem hard to many students because it often looks complicated and full of numbers. But the key to making it easier is to start with simple basics and explain each step clearly. I always try to use real-life examples so students can relate to the problems. For example, using everyday things like buying and selling to explain calculations. Also, breaking big problems into small parts helps students understand better. Patience and practice are very important. When students feel comfortable and see that math is not scary, they start enjoying it.
Q3: How do you handle students who find math difficult or are afraid of the subject?
A: Many students feel nervous about math because they think they canโt do it or have had bad experiences before. I tell them that itโs okay to make mistakes and that every mistake is a step toward learning. I try to create a friendly environment where students feel safe to ask questions without fear. I give them extra attention, explain things slowly, and encourage them to try solving problems themselves. The most important thing is to build their confidence so they donโt give up. I remind them that hard work and patience will help them improve.
Q4: Why did you decide to start your own academy?
A: I wanted to create a special place where students not only learn well but also feel cared for. In many schools or centers, students just focus on finishing the syllabus, but I believe education is more than that. At Hashmii Academy, I want students to grow in knowledge and character. I want to guide them morally and mentally, to prepare them for life challenges, not just exams. Starting my own academy gave me the chance to build this kind of environment โ one where students are motivated, respected, and taught with love and dedication.
Q5: What advice would you give to young students preparing for their exams?
A: My advice to students is to study regularly and not leave everything for the last moment. It is important to understand the subject, not just memorize answers. When you understand the concepts, you can solve any question in exams. Donโt hesitate to ask your teachers if you have doubts. Also, take short breaks while studying to relax your mind. Stay positive and believe in yourself because confidence plays a big role in success. Finally, remember that hard work always pays off โ keep trying, and donโt get discouraged by difficulties.
