The passion for my profession is undoubtedly my greatest strengths. I believe it reflects in each lesson, in each talk I have with the students. They can feel that I really want the best for them, and try my best in each lesson, which of causemotivates them to also try hard, or at least to stay disciplined. And to be honest, the same attitude–or to say it more precisely, the consequences of such an attitude to teaching, is also my biggest weakness. Because I care so much that I struggle to maintain professional distance. I often take the problems from classroom home, and cannot get them out of my head. This is definitely a problem I am aware of, and try to eliminate.
I’ve worked as a Montessori teacher for a year. It was a great experience, and allowed me to experiment with unorthodox teaching methods, something I’d love to apply also in mainstream education–at least to some extent. Teaching by playing, putting emphasis on communication and creativity, I really feel it is the best we can do for the children, to help them develop their full potential. It is the only experience I have so far, but at the same time I believe my education, and all the courses I went to, prepared me for the role of a teacher at an elementary school.
