A permanent goal, a teaching philosophy, a way of living...


Teaching is what I wanted since I was a kid, and to be able to help children learn is my primary philosophy. As an educator, I really like to let students be themselves. I think that everyone has the opportunity to success in his or her own way.  I believe that each person is unique and should always have the opportunity to be heard. Their opinions, ideas, complain, suggestions, critics have to be taken into consideration. Each student deserves the chance to develop their personality in a comfortable environment with values and, of course, I always try to show good leadership for my student. I try to create a comfortable learning environment based on respect instead of fear. For me, students are my main priority and I know that they are all different. I like to encourage them to explore opportunities and use the environment also.

In my classroom, I apply creativity, stressing the importance of education and, at the same time, letting the student have the freedom to think and discover knowledge. Encourage the student to value effort and the determination to succeed.

Growing professionally is one of my eternal goals. We never stop learning. I am always open to new ideas and suggestions and I want to be involved in more educational activities: study, research, and expand my knowledge to be a better teacher. I have to be well prepared for every lesson I teach, with a good planning of time and materials that will ensure that the lesson will be successfully learned.

I believe that in the end students will have self-confidence, and good interpersonal skills to survive in this world.

My special end of the school year!


Those tears were like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeam. She looked at me and said she will always miss me and started crying, I couldn’t help it either, I cried with her, tears of joy, laughter, and most of all, love.

As a teacher I can say this is my weakness... I get too attach to my students, and now, even tired and hoping to get the so deserved summer vacation, it’s the happiest yet saddest moment of the school year. Saying goodbye and watching them grow fast, learn fast, change fast... watch them go.

Tears of joy are the sweetest tears. That lovely hug, makes me realize how I love my job: such an emotional, real, lovely career. I’m so happy for that moment... I can say that all the work was worth it; not only to teach them, but to learn from them. So maybe, one day at the time, we can change the world.
