Hobbies
As a language learner myself, I understand the frustration of learning a foreign language. I am well-organized, dependable, and able to effectively manage the classroom. Because learning a language is personal, students won't learn unless they are really involved in the process. For this reason I plan most activities to be student-centered activities. I am sensitive to cultural differences and traditions. A successful teacher should enjoy people, show enthusiasm and excitement in the classroom, and be positive. If the teacher is positive, enthusiastic, and teaches with a smile, the energy will spread to the students. This positive energy can motivate students and make the classroom environment more pleasant.
