I have had a passion for teaching since a young age, I started tutoring students at the age of 16 and never really stopped. After high school I started a degree in Marketing and Economics thinking that that was the career I wanted to pursue, but during lockdown I realised that what I really wanted to do was teach. Before the Celta course I had only taught children and young adults (6-25 year olds) both online and face to face, there were different motivations as to why they wanted to learn English but many of them did so because they were studying English at school. The teaching experience I gained while attending Celta was eye opening and a completely new to me. The range of motivations as to why the students wanted to learn English was much wider.
I truly believe in the power of education and I am eager to start teaching. I am British but I grew up in Italy, I am so thankful for this as I was able to see how teaching comes in many forms, there are so many teaching philosophies and I find them fascinating. Although I don't have much experience, I am full of enthusiasm and ready to start this journey.
