But, gradually I understood that to have an answer to all questions was a very wrong expectation to keep from oneself. The first day taught me that if I am nervous, so is the one who is...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences For the past several years I have been working for a non-profit company that provides high-quality daycare and preschool education for financially disadvantaged children. The population we serve is diverse, but the majority of families in our particular centers are Latino.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Establishing rapport with your students is crucial for many reasons.

Taking the time to establish rapport is simply the first step to laying a foundation for teaching and learning a language. A true teacher does not teach a subject, they teach students.
