I would like to describe something I taught my relative that proved to be quite useful. I taught my cousin sister, who is currently in her 12th standard, Mathematics and Physics. When I visited my grandparents' house during the summer vacation, I saw my cousin was quite frustrated and depressed as well. So I asked her, and she told me she was struggling with math and physics. Coming from the same background and having taken those examinations, I decided to help her. Since I had a few days off, I decided to stay at my grandparents' house so that I could assist her for a few days. I stayed there for almost a week and gave her regular Mathematics and Physics lessons for about 3 hours a day when I was not working. Not only that, I also provided her with a few tips and tricks on how to study a subject effectively. After that, I remained in contact with her so she could clarify her doubts as well. When the results came out, she successfully passed the exam with flying colors. I felt very good about this, as she is one of my favorite cousins who worked very hard. I have always wanted to teach others so they could succeed. I can say that I felt very good about how she achieved the results and how I contributed to her success.
