Teaching philosophy

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Teaching is a journey that is never-ending. It is a process that improves with time. I believe that teaching is to provide students with the necessary knowledge, and skills to succeed in academic, business and personal areas. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many social problems. Education provides the tools to make decisions and to become more critical. Therefore, I am working really hard to improve my skills as a teacher.
Teachers have to face that it has been really hard to teach nowadays. Teachers have to transmit not only the knowledge of their subjects, but also the world´s knowledge. Most of the time they don´t have the student´s family to count on and share this task because at the present time the family is not worried about the role they should play in their children´s learning process.
Although there are lots of teaching problems in our society, I keep doing what I love because, in general, this job is very gratifying. When I see all my students speaking English very well, I really forget all these problems. I am very happy to contribute to a person´s better future and see that they will achieve success in life.
I really have a particularly strong passion for teaching English. I have been studying English since I was ten years old and this language really attracts me. When I enter a classroom I leave all my problems outside and introduce my passion to my students. I try to get all my students involved in the class and I also try to make them more interested in English by bringing to class material that are interesting, challenging and interactive. I strongly believe that students learn and retain more information if the material is presented in an environment that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, I think that using an array of multimedia including videos, slides, sitcoms and the Internet is an effective way to complement my classes and make them more dynamic, lively
