Thu, 02 May 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences How to Use Learners’ Internal Motivation Motivating students is always a challenge and can, in fact, be one of the most difficult parts of education. There are countless ways to either encourage or intimidate a student into completing their work or participating in class but these external motivators have a limited effect. Encouragement and praise may only motivate a student while they are seated in the classroom.

People often use the phrase 'It's like learning a whole new language' when trying to express how difficult and confusing it is to learn something, yet learning new languages shouldn't be harder than learning any other...  [Read more]

Mon, 11 May 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Moving Forward: My Personal Teaching Experience, Changing Careers I've always wanted to be a teacher. In high school, I was inspired by my English teachers and the way they were able to make material interesting and motivating.
