Teaching

I follow the words of Joseph Joubert, "To teach is to learn twice over". It is my strong conviction that one learns the most when one teaches something to others. I obtained the Fellowship of the Advance Higher Education Academy in November, 2022.

Examples of anonymous reviews on teaching:

  • "Arpita is an absolutely talented teacher who can explain even the hard material in an engaging and clear way."

  • "Arpita is a very supportive professor. I love the fact that she takes time to consider every doubt. She's very clear with her approach and includes discussions. I love how she takes my jokes between lectures because it eases my tension and actually helps me pay attention."

  • "Ghosh is very helpful at explaining her answers and encourages participation far more than anyone else I haven taught by."

  • "I used to be a student in your econometrics 2 lessons for financial economics, and I thoroughly enjoyed the way you explained everything. Your support was one of the main reasons why I managed to get a distinction in the final exam, and I am very grateful."

  • "Ms Ghosh was significantly better as her delivery of her seminars were more concise and lively evoking greater interest in the subject. Additionally, she went the extra mile in helping each student and catering to the different skill levels through opening her availability outside her office hours."

  • "My seminar leader was Miss Ghosh. I think she is possibly the best maths teacher I have ever had. She shows us exactly how to display answers to get full marks and everything is set out and explained in detail and very clearly. Nobody in the class is afraid to ask questions about the content as she makes us feel very comfortable during class and encourages us to ask questions as many times as we need to understand the content. I don’t think there could be any improvements to be made. I hope to have her for next semester too."
