Teacher
Today I had my first day of teaching English classes at Wall Street Institute of English in Cuenca. I must say it’s a lot of fun – I really like it. Well, the hardest for me definitely was to get up at 5.50 a.m. in order to start the first lesion at 7 a.m.
Swiss as I am I arrived at 6.50 a.m. at the Institute – and well, it was closed. That was kind of funny to me. Yes, of course I know about the Ecuadorian time by now but honestly speaking didn’t expect it for the institute. Well, someone locked it up at 7.02 and I right away started with my first class, cause my student was already waiting since 6.55 in her car outside.
So I managed 4 hours of classes, went "donde la abuelita" to eat at the grannies place of Vale, in which's house I'm staying at the moment. Once more I had "cuy" which is a typical dish here. The animal is a mix of a bunny and a rat, in German known as Meerschweinchen but much bigger and actually tastes nice.
Then another pen drive got fkt up. The bloody computer at the institute killed all the memory, what a shame! I have lent it of a friend - and now another electronical thing to replace. Beside I had to re-do 3 hours of work I did yesterday...
It doesn't bother me too much anymore – kind of get used to it…
So after my so called lunch break which means working for @ I went back to teach.
The system of rotation is really great and so diverse to teach! You have always different students with differnt levels of english! That makes it really interesting and intense! Great experience!!!
Well, as you see you can be a teacher and a teacher, figure it out yourself how my students do… :-))
Looking forward to the upcoming fiestas de Cuenca!
