My first job as an English teacher
My first experience was doing a replacement, I was afraid because I had never had a group of students and I had 4 groups in charge ... I knew I had knowledge of the topics but I was afraid of the experience...Finally this was wonderful because the students obeyed at all and they were very good at learning. -
Pedagogical Practicum (San Vicente del Cagúan - Colombia)
I was afraid again, because I would be supervised by the La Salle brothers and I could not fail, I was representing the university and putting my profession into practice. I was in charge of 4 groups, it was finally a great experience and it's just a matter of daring and doing it to make everything flow.
