Sharing knowledge is important. This essential skill was responsible for humanity to evolve from the simple hunter/gatherer system into the great, technologically advanced, civilizations populating our world today.

A good teacher is able to transfer the skills, that he so carefully gathered through years of learning, succeeding, and more often than not, failing, which made him the expert that he is, into his pupil. Unfortunately, I was not as good as one would have expected from an experienced and passionate pedagogical worker.

That’s why I am even more grateful for the opportunity I was given. resh out of college I used teaching as a stepping stone into the active workforce. I

started as a technical assistant in the laboratory for artificial intelligence and computer graphics, where my main focus was on research and assisting students in practical assignments. Later I continued as a teacher’s assistant, where I put more focus on teaching students and grading their skills.

While being part of the laboratory, I learned essential teaching skills, that made me interested in sharing my experience with other people.

I love to write and speak about my professional passions which, for the most part, I can attribute to my professor and my colleagues in college, which in the short amount of time we worked together, transferred their passion onto me. After two years I chose another path for myself, but I will always look back kindly on this part of my career path.
