About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

Students Like You

Today was your / our last day of training.
50 hours went by so fast, especially with such a committed and hardworking group as yours. It was a pleasure teaching you; it was a pleasure being with you. I feel sad already for all the nice time we spent together on Wednesday afternoons but know other challenges will come for both you and me.
Hope other groups are just the same way so that I might feel as rewarded as I did with your adult class.
Thanks for having been so patient and nice and for the beautiful flowers :=)

Now, dedicated to YOU - Cristina, Evaristo, Isabel, João, Lígia, Mabilda, Mário, Paula and Susana...



Students Like You
 
With students like you, teaching is easy
I look forward to each day;
Your wondering minds keep me on my toes;
You make teaching more like play.
 
Students like you make teaching rewarding;
When I go home, I’m content;
You pay attention, you learn—giving me
A sense of accomplishment.
 
Thank you for being the way you are,
For making my job so much fun.
I’ll remember how good you made me feel,
Even when my teaching is done.
