I was pushed into English language teaching ten years ago, when I was too young to know what else to study. However, after having spent time in South America, I started to reaise that I had an aptitude for learning languages. This made me start to think more about teaching English for two reasons: one- I realised that I had a language that many people would "give their right arm" to know; two- I had some not-so-good Spanish teachers. I managed to learn the language, but I realised some important points on what not to do. This, along with my qualifications, has encouraged me to become not just a teacher but a facilitator of language learning. Most recently I have spent time in India and Iraq, for learning and teaching respectively. I speak advanced Spanish as well as Elementary Kurdish. I believe that it is not enough to go and teach others my language without at least trying to learn theirs too. By understanding my students culture and personalities, I can help cater to their specific needs. When I'm not teaching, I like to read, play football and spend time with my family and friends.
