I’m sure that you’ve seen me in the Academy, or maybe you’ve heard me! I teach English to some of the younger students, which for me this is a very important post. The scholastic year has begun and I’m pleased to be part of the enthusiastic team of teachers here at Bristol Academy. A teacher is always responsible for imparting knowledge in order to have a hand in the development of students in any aspect but also to build their interest, attitude and personality to the area/subject. Furthermore, teaching the Tiddlers is a responsibility and passion on them. I have made a great effort to carry out these two aspects in the past two years. The Tiddlers are always a challenge to teach; each & everyone has his or her “special needs” as well as a rhythm to learn and we always have to be ready for the “naughty” moments! For me every class is something special and I look it forward to; for this reason many classes pass so quickly. It is when we’re all having such enjoyment learning new words, songs or working on a project, that often I find that students want to stay to finish their tasks and not go home! For many of these Tiddlers this is the start of a road to learning the English language that is so important in the future. They are the new generation of multi lingual people and I am proud to be a part of that road, – just one of the stepping stones. Every student here at the Academy by working hard, yet having fun learning the English language, can feel confident that they can apply what they learn now in the future, in real life situations. As a teacher I have to say that I too am continuing my learning process, every day you can learn something new! Remember this: “A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every passer by leaves a mark”. I’m sure that you will agree that English is and must be a definite mark on this paper!
