  Teaching something new to others, if it is to our friend it is an enjoyable and funny moment. Here I am going to share about my experience of teaching.

What did you teach him/her?
  She was asking about 2 months to teach her how to stitch kurti with the old sarees. For some reason it was delayed. Luckily we got a 2 day holiday due to some reason. So I decided to teach her on sunday.

How long was it for?
It was a bit tough to learn the minute things in stitching. Approximately it takes 5 months for her.  Because she spent only Sunday learning it. 
And explain how you felt about it.

What did you teach him/her?
    She is my neighbor who is doing her 9th grade in a ABC higher secondary school, near my home. She said that she has to do a presentation about a topic in science, but she doesn't know how to prepare ppt. So I helped her to prepare for PPT by teaching her about MS. power point .

When was it?
  It was her mid exam time. Her teacher asked her to prepare a PPT about a general topic from a science subject, which is going to be added in her internal marks. So she started learning about MS. power point from the month before the date for last submission.

It took nearly 1 month to complete her presentation. She first learned about MS powerpoint and she prepared her PPT by her own ideas. 
And explain how you felt about it.

    Teachers play an important role in shaping our future by guiding us. They are the one who impart knowledge and teach us about everything important, and also the one who gives their whole knowledge by teaching what they know without any hiding.
