Teaching and learning are personnel subjective experience. I effectively incorporate into my teaching a personal exchange. This allows my students to respond both critically and analytically to the world around them..
Teaching to me involves using lectures ,demonstrations, and various motivations to empower my students with a good sense of knowledge and the ability to understand and use their new language skills. This is my ultimate goal as a teacher to respect local cultures, to listen to my students and help them excel in their chosen fields. Always remembering learning occurs both in and out of the class room.. Teaching students how to learn via memory, cognitive learning, social skills and behaviors including physical awareness has always been very rewarding to me as a teacher,
Life experiences that I have had; Extensive world travel
Various jobs, from teaching to photo journalism.. These have given me a greater understanding of cultures and how different people learn. I look forward to teaching and mentoring students worldwide. The challenge and interesting cultures are always worth exploring. It would be interesting to develop new courses to explore the unique and diversity of these cultures. My goal would be to empower my students to become leaders in their chosen fields.
