Being a Good English Teacher Even if You’re not a Native Speaker
As a Spaniard in love with languages, I can't start this essay without saying anything other than, "it's not who the teacher is, but the will of teaching that they have". Through all these years of learning English, I just know for sure that a learner learns more when they live in and with the language throughout each day. They need to become hooked to it, and it does not matter if the person who transmits this feeling is a native speaker or not.

ITTT Course Graduate: My Personal Experience Teaching in Turkey
Turkey is one of the most beautiful countries where you can have a lovely vacation. There are many touristic sites and fascinating places that will mesmerize you with the beauty of this country.

This was really hard, as the companies were still closed, and everything was online, which made it hard for me to find a job. I was still an undergraduate back then, which was also a negative point for me to be able to have a job. Later, things turned... [Read more]

LearningTechniques Part of being a good teacher is understanding how students learn and formatting lessons so that they appeal to the different ways students learn. Every day people use their senses to take in information. This intake of information is part of the process we call learning. Typically, one sense is dominant over the others. Because of this, people can be said to have different learning styles. These learning styles can be... [Read more]
