About me:
I may describe myself as a good listener, tolerant, amiable and purposeful person. Apart from this, I am passionate about teaching. Being a good listener helps me to understand studentsโ€™ needs and teach in accordance with studentsโ€™ interests. Being a purposeful person helps me to focus on studentsโ€™ progress and achieve desirable results. More than that, to present the classroom atmosphere in which students can feel confident and happy is my high priority.
My motto:
“Per aspera ad astraโ€ (โ€œTo the stars through difficultyโ€)
Why I love my job:
The South Korean director, Bong Joon Ho, said during his acceptance speech: โ€œOnce you overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of (English) subtitles, you will be introduced to so many amazing filmsโ€. I can totally relate to it, and thatโ€™s, for sure, applicable not only to the films themselves, but to all spheres of life. I appreciate my job for the chance to guide more and more people through this notional barrier, and assist them with widening the world-view and constantly mastering their skills and knowledge in a real-life setting. There are approximately 40 000 jobs available in the world, but I am of the opinion that only one suits me the best, namely English Teacher.
