MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
MY HOBBIES
I think education is a quite important issue in the development of a society as it enables human beings to maximize their innate abilities in terms of the formation of healthy social relationships, acquisition and consolidation of personal values, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and social skills, self-esteem, self-reflection, cultural appreciation, knowledge of ourselves, our environment and our world as well as physical and mental health to have a high quality of live.
​
Teaching has made me a better person since I have learned how to communicate assertively, make and keep positive relationships with my students, colleagues, family and all people around me, manage my emotions, enjoy everything I do, learn when I succeed and when I make a mistake, be more organized, patient and conscious, take into account and understand other points of view. Therefore, I think my role as a language teacher is to potentiate my learners' abilities, foster social skills, and respect for their onw language and culture as well as for foreign languages and cultures. I currently conduct a research on cooperative learning to promote social and communicative skills in a EFL setting at a public school in Bogotá, Colombia.
I love traveling because it is an amazing learning, exciting, and peaceful experience for me. I enjoy spending time with my family, reading poetry and articles about health and education, dancing tropical music, swimming, doing yoga, and learning new things in my free time. I like languages, music, movies, and some extreme sports. I am very concern about helping people and taking care of the environment.
This is a picture of my trip to San Gil, Santader, Colombia which is a nice place to practice extreme sports. As you can see, I also like going paragliding.
