Have you enjoyed your first course as a teacher?
I just have to tell you the truth! Yes, I enjoyed my first course as a teacher because I really love what I am teaching, but I have to admit that I was excited being in front of more than 35 students that were impatient to meet the new teacher. After 5 minutes when I lost all my ideas, I regained my words and I started to be myself. Starting from my first course as a teacher I was able to build an excellent relationship with my students.

If you don’t like kids may you become a good teacher?
Well, we think that is very hard to be a good teacher if you don’t love kids. Because children feel our energy, they will feel our adversity towards them. Due to this, in our opinion, love for children is a must in order to be a good teacher. We are not speaking here about a good teacher in terms of knowledge, but in terms of a good relationship as humans between teachers and students. So, if you don’t like children, maybe you should find a different career.
