About me

Welcome to my portfolio!

     I have had the opportunity to be an English teacher at a private school during five (5) years in Yopal – Casanare, and this experience has been amazing, because, at the same time that I have been studying at UNAD University, I have been practicing at school as a real teacher.

     Despite the fact the University has supplied me a lot of knowledge about how to be a better teacher, the school has been essential for my training; there, I have learned which are my weakness and strengths in this profession.
    Teaching English has not been easy for me, not only is not my mother tongue, but also I have had to engage the students in their process of learning and motivate them to improve their results and in many occasions, I have felt that I have failed, but I am always learning and trying to do the best.
    My teaching methodology's main objective is to motivate my students to learn a second language in an easy and joyful way, being aware of different learning styles, and bearing in mind that students have their learning needs, preferences, motivation, and beliefs. Hence, I usually include activities that promote learning styles through the Constructivism approach that for me is the best way to achieve better results. All of these goals can be achieved through a creative lesson plan. 

     Nevertheless, I know that I need to continue with my process of learning if I want to be a better teacher. Hence I decided to study a Master program in Education, and I hope that I can get a lot of tools and methodologies that allow me to be a better teacher each day, not only teaching English as a foreign language but also teaching my students how to be better human beings.
