 s a young man, Alexander Graham Bell taught
deaf students in schools and universities and tutored them privately
to help them communicate. He was trained in this work by his
parents. |
In 1862,
Bell enrolled as a "student teacher" at a boy's school
near Edinburgh, Scotland. There he taught music and elocution
in exchange for instruction in other subjects. Later, he became
a full-time teacher, using Visible Speech in teaching a class
of deaf children. In April, 1871, Bell went to Massachusets,
where he met with great success. |
