"You teach better what you most need to learn''

Hey guys, I hope you miss me jiij. Well, yesterday was my first day at teaching in the advance level the last week I had some problems to go to the classroom because it seems that the schedule of the class  does not fit well with my classes, so I had to make some arrangements with the teacher and ask for some permissions because she wants me to visit the classroom two days a week; One day observing the class and the real day of teaching. The first time when the teacher told me about this requirement I was not happy with the idea but now I can tell you guys that the observation class help me to know  how was the environment of the class and I could also  know about  the students. After the observation the next day I feel great and I did not know anything about nervousness. I really like the new group because they participate a lot and they work enthusiastically in every activity. The teacher was helping a lot with the pratice, she received me kindly inside od the classroom and is always giving feedback and advices that I am sure will help me. I was a little bit scared about this teacher because I know she is strict and dedicate about her job, but and thaks God she made me feel secure instead of scared. Now I know that the relationship and  the communication level with the tutor is also an important part of this process.
I hope this period can goes better that the previous one because I am feealing better with this group and I know that the things that did not work well with the last group will help me to improve and learn even more.

Guys if you use the title of my post well this a quote I found before the class and I really like I bring this to my students and they like it too, so I hope to always find something like this message that encourage me to continue in this process of learning. Hope you like it. :)

  1. hey you did a great job!! With that teacher!!! jejeje I felt like you when I started working at "children program" because of the teacher but then I found that she is not as bad as i thought. She gives you many suggestions to continue working well and to improve it. I like those feedbacks because in that way you can do a better work next time! I did once the same "i brought a quote for the class" but for children, and they worked better after i explained them what that means!! It´s a good strategy to get the students participate.
