ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:

PAGE 1
I would like to thank The Citizens Foundation for giving me an opportunity
to give back to society. My internship was of 6 weeks teaching math at TCF
(IBA Main Campus). I am thankful to the great people I met during my
internship I learnt a lot from them. I would like thanks each of those
individuals who helped me in accomplishing my task including Mr. Faraz
Ahmed, Mr. Ahsan Riaz Awan and Ms. Muskan Amjad, who maintained the
friendly environment in which all social interns were more comfortable
working together. A special thank you to those who encourage me the
opportunity to learn and work here. I am sure I will benefit other students
whatever I learn here teaching TCF students and enhance my skills more in
future.

I especially want to thank the Ex Dean and Director IBA, Dr. Ishrat Hussain,
who made the internship a requirement for all IBA students. If he had not
made this a necessary requirement for getting a degree, I doubt the students
of IBA would have ever been able to see how enthusiastic students of the
underprivileged backgrounds of Pakistan are to get education.

I am grateful to TCF that for providing the underprivileged students the

opportunity to excel and give them assurance in their finances and they can
have a chance of making a better future for themselves.

ABOUT:
The Citizens Foundation (TCF) is a non-profit organization set up in 1995
by a group of citizens who wanted to bring about positive social change
through education. After 24 years, TCF is currently one of Pakistan's driving

TCF is to remove barriers of class and privilege and to make the citizens of

education is the right of each individual and not a privilege. Apart from
following the regular curriculum, we focus on the character building of

these goals, TCF is constantly surveying education-deprived locations in
Pakistan to extend its network.

TCF embeds its purpose fabricated schools in the core of urban slums and
rural networks.

INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT:

TCF Social Internship Programme is a distinctive experiential internship for
students from Pakistan’s leading universities. Students from a rich variety of
academic disciplines are eligible to participate in their summer break as well
as year-round developmental initiatives of TCF based in our offices in
Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

ALUMNI DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (TCF-ADP):

Initiated in 2015, Alumni Development Programme is an on-field teaching
programme. It is intended to help TCF graduates to get admitted in he best
institutes of Pakistan and abroad.

Under this programme, the preparation is divided into 3 levels.

1. FOUNDATION LEVEL: The students who successfully cleared the

tenth grade took classes in summers at TCF secondary schools.
2. LEVEL-I: Students in their Intermediate part 1 studies took classes
of level –I
3. LEVEL-II: Students in their Intermediate part 2 exams took classes
of TCF-ADP Level-II.

The classes of level I and level II are conducted in universities and

institutes who has partnered with TCF-ADP.

The students who are doing graduation work voluntarily and conduct classes
of students and manage other things and help the students in getting
admission of best universities. Students of prestigious universities like IBA,
IOBM, CBM, LUMS etc worked voluntarily with this program.

MAJOR REPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS:
Students apply for social internship at ADP are appointed to different
institutes and assigned different duties. I was appointed as Mathematic
Instructor at IBA Main Campus Karachi. My duties included:

MATHEMATIC INSTRUCTOR:
I was appointed as a Theory Mathematic Instructor of Level-II and given the
responsibility to conduct everyday lecture and make them prepare for their
respective aptitude test. My job was to coordinate with the Class executive
of my section and update with daily progress. My duties included to make
quizzes with answer keys, practice, material, practice sessions, and
individual assistance to students. In the beginning it was not easy to handle a
lot of students at a time, but I gave extra time and took extra classes to
ensure that everyone is getting the concepts.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
I have learned a lot in many ways. The first I get to realize that teaching
mathematics and its concepts to others is not an easy job as I have in mind
that I am good at math but when it comes to class teaching math, you have to
face a lot of different approaches to same problems so for every class I have
to make notes from different books and sources and with many approaches
so that if someone does not understand a general method there should
always have many approaches the same task. This internship made me a
person who can work under pressure and how to engage a pool of people. I
was very bad at decision making but during this time every student a lot of

PAGE 6
situations, so they approach us for guidance and that was their future I
consider situations very carefully and guide them how to cope with these in
a good way. I have also learnt how to work in a team and go with one
mission. I feel more confident talking to others. As a social intern I
understand that every person needs this community to stand out and play
their part for improvement and put all our efforts into it. So I just want these
kids to make the best out of their oopportunity to a better future.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Alt Though everything is going smoothly but I would recommend some points
which will make it better.

• The time span is not enough for students to prepare for top universities as
IBA/IOBM etc.
• ATL’s and instructors should discuss things on weekly basis headed by
Team Lead because there a lot of misunderstanding going on if they don’t
have good connections among them it leaves a bad impression on students.

ENDING REMARKS:

My internship at TCF was one of the best times ever in my life. My

experience at TCF made me a more informed and responsible person that I
may never turn away an opportunity to help others. Before this internship, I
was not as engaging to others but being a teacher, I had to have an effective
communication with my students and now I feel much more confident in
engaging people.
