I have 2 newbies I coach for web development and I would recommend it to any professional software developer. Do it, even for free!
If you are as passionate about software development as I am,i know you'd want to grow in this field and that you probably want to be the best developer you can be.
So Here's how Teaching a Newbie Is something you should consider:
The satisfaction of contributing to your community
-You've probably benefited from open source, Youtubers and the internet...this is an opportunity for you to give back, Benefit your community, your country and the world!
2.
You learn as well, by teaching
-Explaining and simplifying concepts to newbies helps you re-learn and solidify your knowledge.
3.
Teaching establishes Credibility
-Your teaching credential establishes you as someone credible in their field. Let's face it, a youtuber with a lot of free web dev tutorials does look good on a resume!
4.
An outlet for your creativity
-The need to engage students in learning calls upon a teacher to be creative in adapting and developing learning activities, and new technologies allow teachers to bring the world – even the universe – into their environments.
You'd be surprised how creative you can get to help explain complicated concepts!
5.
You will be Making a real difference
Your students’ success will be what drives you on. Of course, some students will succeed more easily than others but the feeling of accomplishment in seeing your students grow in confidence and ability will make it all worthwhile.
You could literally be changing someone's life and upgrading their lifestyle!!
Teaching Software Development has a lot of Job Satisfaction.
One of the reasons I love the Dev Community is how much that is welcomed. There is a lot of free resources on the internet from amazing teachers and developers who love to share their knowledge!
Grab a Newbie and impact someone's life!!
