A nervous young man of about 29 years in age walked into the front doors of a scientific institute that provided software training to computer buffs with only an IELTS program on their English rostrum. Looking for extra work and passionate about the teaching profession, I offered my services as a part-time English Language associate. The academic coordinator who was impressed with my near-native American speaking accent and assuming that I had a strong grip over English as a subject made an impulse decision to try me out for their early morning spoken English batch as a trial. Well, what can I tell you but within a few days I had a class full of 35 students and word started to spread among the neighboring community about a foreign-qualified American sounding tutor whose class was really enjoyable and much educational.
Ultimately, the institute had to create a separate afternoon batch to facilitate the droves lining up to take my class, and the academic coordinator started to diversify my scope assigning me the GRE, GMAT, IELTS, SAT, and TOEFL courses as well. To be honest, that was my first time teaching the GMAT course and initially, I had three students enrolled in my class. Turns out that Sentence Correction or Grammar to the layman, is an essential component of the GMAT test along with Critical Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension. As a grade school student in a British school all the way up till middle and then high school in the Persian Gulf, all the major modalities and concepts of English grammar were engrained in our brains like discipline is to military recruits – and that made my grammar rock solid.
For non-western students who are speakers of other languages, and receive a bulk of their education in a mixed medium of instruction alternating between English and their first language, grammar happens to be a really challenging area of struggle. All it took was for those three students to score, 550, 580, and 620 respectively and before you knew it my GMAT Preparation in Lahore class quadrupled in size.
