My First Teaching Experience
It was an open self-organized web courses for the students of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kiev Polytechnic Institute". Started from scratch, me and my friends Andriy, Kolya, Misha and Dima gathered around 120 motivated students and divided them into 4 groups (1, 2, 3, 4).
Our goal was to organize a free, non-profit courses to share our experience. Once we opened a registration for the course, we received a huge amount of applications (around 400). Because we were able to handle 120 students at max (30 students per group), we asked students to compose a motivation letter to us, and we were choosing from the most motivated students.
I was the teacher of the first group, and I also introduced the course to all the listeners during the first meeting. Each group had its own training program, developed by the group leaders. My program was covering mainly HTML, CSS, JavaScript, NodeJS and MongoDB technologies. See the detailed program and schedule of the courses if you are interested.
The course went excellent, and it was an exciting experience both for me and my students.
