"We have picked up such teachers, coaches, trainers, fitness experts and mentors who have adopted innovative, inspiring methodologies. We are honoring their approach and not them. We want to honor them and bring them on a single platform," Dr. Ankam said.

Some of the methodologies we have looked into these selected teachers, Dr. Ankam of Tutors Pride informs are Creative teaching, teaching by using Audio & Visual Tools, teaching through "Real-World" Learning by linking lessons to real-world situations; teaching through brainstorming; Classes outside the classroom by way of field trips; teaching through role plays; Storyboard Teaching; Teaching through recreating certain things; teaching by introducing lessons like a story.

Films are more interesting to be watched, why? You like to watch movies because there is always an interesting story to keep you engaged. Like that, learning sessions become more interesting when you introduce it like a story. If you are creative, even math lessons can be related to interesting stories, observed Dr. Ankam.

These Effective Teaching methodologies hold students’ attention so powerfully they’ll beg the teacher to stay longer in class. We are also in search of more “Effective Teaching” Methods To WOW Students. And we will continue our search by bringing such innovators in teaching on one single platform every year, informed Dr. Ankam.
