| 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 students’ needs and teach in accordance with students’ interests. Being a purposeful person helps me to focus on students’ 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 astra” (“To the stars through difficulty”) |
| Why I love my job: The South Korean director, Bong Joon Ho, said during his acceptance speech: “Once you overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of (English) subtitles, you will be introduced to so many amazing films”. I can totally relate to it, and that’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. |
