Question: Why would you want to be a teacher?

Loan Nguyen answered on 11 Nov 2015:

Hi,
Thanks for asking this question, this is a really important question for me as i ask myself this question constantly. Teaching forms a big part of my job and it is the part which i really enjoy. I enjoy spending time with young adults/ children and find it extremely rewarding to watch my students learn what i have taught them.

As a scientist, I have the skills and knowledge to teach enthusiastic students like yourself. I have considered becoming a teacher before but opted for science instead so if there is a chance for me to try teaching, I would like to know what is like to be a teacher. I think it will be lots of fun (and hard work)

I hope I have answered your question. Keep asking, it is the best way to learn.
