Waiting for results

OK, it's not me in the picture and I didn´t do my finals in June but I hope to feel the same when I get my results. Having an exam to take was a great motivator for me; otherwise, I'm a lazy learner. I prefer the term a 'just in time learner' ie I learn what I need to know at that moment. I'm sure some of my students are like me!

Now that I'm waiting for my A2 Español results I've put learning on a back burner which I feel guilty about - it's not the right thing to do. I know. I'm a teacher, an exam preparation expert!  As a certified Life Coach, it's important to walk the talk to a point. So why not as a teacher?

Discussion Question for you all - is it necessary for a teacher to be the perfect student and a role model? Is it important for teachers to be learners as well? 

Your thoughts are welcome and ...there's no right answer, just a sharing of thoughts and perspectives.

Hi! My name's Kitty Leah. I am an experienced and qualified EFL teacher, with over 25 years of experience. I have the RSA Diploma in TEFLA and have taught in the UK, France, China and now Spain. Whatever your goal, my approach to your learning is student centred and I follow your requests. My lessons usually start with conversation, then we'll go through any work done at home, followed by working on the objective ( speaking, vocabulary, grammar etc) for the lesson. At the end, I'll give you feedback on recurrent mistakes although I also do this during the lesson if communication is not effective. I tend to be lighthearted and encouraging in class. I prefer it if you prepare something for the class as I believe the class must be supported by independent study.
